Product Description
Sourcing and specification focus for manufacturers
Medicago sativa L. grown in Ukraine undergoes supercritical CO2 extraction to yield an oily mass rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols. International buyers from supplement and food factories source this botanical raw material for consistent batch production. CO2 Extracts Wholesale provides reliable volumes for B2B operations. The 100 g packs serve both pilot trials and small-scale cosmetic labs worldwide.
Integration into dietary supplement and food formulations
Manufacturers incorporate the extract into capsules, functional beverages and confectionery fillings at 0.5-2 percent. Private formulators and large plants value its oil solubility and neutral sensory profile. Alfalfa CO2 extract 1 kg supports scaling from development to commercial runs. Extracts Wholesale sections list complementary CO2 materials for complex blends.
Performance in cosmetic emulsions
The oily character allows even distribution in creams and serums. Formulators add it to the lipid phase below 40 degrees Celsius. Cosmetic laboratories report good compatibility with plant oils and butters for face and body products.
Recommended dosage and processing
Input levels range from 0.5 to 3 percent depending on the final product type. The extract remains stable when stored in closed containers away from light until December 2028.
