Sourcing and specification details
Siberian fir (Abies sibirica) needles grown in Ukraine undergo supercritical CO2 extraction to yield a paste-like mass packed in 100 g containers. The extract contains terpenoids, carotenoids, chlorophyll, polyprenols and fatty acids. International buyers source the material for consistent formulation work. CO2 Extracts Wholesale sections list bulk options for laboratories and factories.
Physical properties and incorporation
The extract is fat-soluble and added to the oil phase at temperatures below 40 °C. Recommended input levels are 0,5-1,5 percent for hair and nail strengthening products, 1-1,5 percent for targeted skin care, 0,5-0,75 percent for hair lotions, 0,5 percent for micellar waters and cleansing milks, 0,6-1 percent for body creams, and 1-2 percent for foaming cleansers.
Formulation roles in cosmetics
The paste integrates into emulsions, serums and masks. It contributes a natural forest note and supports skin comfort in leave-on and rinse-off products. Manufacturers incorporate the extract into face, body and hair care lines. Siberian Fir CO2 Extract 1 kg is ordered by cosmetic labs for pilot and production batches.
Role as raw material for dietary supplements and food products
Buyers worldwide purchase the extract as a botanical raw material for dietary supplement formulations and for the food industry. It is used in functional beverages, confectionery items and food additive blends by private formulators and manufacturing plants in both retail and wholesale quantities. Extracts Wholesale options support scaling production. The material does not alter the base flavor profile of the finished product.
Example scalp care formulation
Rosemary hydrosol 80 percent, Siberian fir CO2 extract 0,7 percent, panthenol 2 percent, preservative as directed, distilled water to 100 percent. Pre-disperse the extract in a small amount of jojoba oil before combining with the aqueous phase. Store finished product in a cool location.
Storage and shelf life
The material retains its properties until December 2028 when kept in a cool dark place inside a tightly closed container. Check seal integrity before each use.
Frequently asked questions
Can the extract be added directly to water-based toners?
No, fat solubility requires incorporation into an oil or emulsion phase.
What is the recommended temperature limit during processing?
Processing temperature should not exceed 40 °C to preserve volatile components.
Is the extract compatible with common cosmetic preservatives?
Yes, standard preservative systems used in oil-in-water emulsions work without interaction issues.
