Sourcing and specification details
Siberian fir needles (Abies sibirica L.) grown in Ukraine yield a paste-like CO2 extract after supercritical processing. The material remains fully fat-soluble and carries terpenoids, carotenoids and chlorophyll. CO2 Extracts Wholesale serve both cosmetic labs and dietary-supplement manufacturers worldwide. The process preserves the full spectrum of lipophilic compounds without residual solvents.
Composition profile for formulators
Key constituents include α-pinene, camphene, bornyl acetate, α- and β-carotene, lycopene and polyprenols. These compounds provide a characteristic conifer note suitable for leave-on and rinse-off products. The extract integrates easily into oil phases at moderate temperatures without requiring additional solubilisers, ensuring consistent performance across batches.
Use in supplements and food manufacturing
Supplement and confectionery producers purchase the extract as a botanical raw material for functional beverages and fortified foods. Private formulators and factories source both retail packs and bulk volumes. Siberian Fir CO2 Extract 100 g allows small-scale trials before scaling. The same material reaches international buyers through established wholesale channels. Extracts Wholesale supports ongoing production schedules for large operations.
Recommended input levels across applications
Hair and nail strengtheners receive 0,5-1,5 %, problem-skin cosmetics 1-1,5 %, hair lotions 0,5-0,75 %, cleansing milks 0,5 %, body creams 0,6-1 %. Input occurs exclusively in the oil phase between 40 and 60 °C to preserve volatile fractions and maintain product stability.
Sample scalp toner formulation
Rosemary hydrosol - 80 %, Siberian fir CO2 extract - 0,8 %, panthenol - 2 %, preservative - as directed, water - to 100 %. Predissolve the extract in a small amount of jojoba oil before combining with the aqueous phase and adjust final viscosity if needed for spray application. This creates a lightweight mist suitable for daily use on the scalp.
Storage and shelf life
Keep in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container; best before December 2028. Avoid repeated temperature fluctuations to maintain consistent colour and aroma throughout the declared period.
