Sourcing and specification of Sunflower CO2 Extract
The extract is obtained from the root of Helianthus annuus L. grown in Ukraine. Supercritical CO2 extraction yields an oily mass containing fatty oil, tannins and saponins. Each batch is supplied in transport packaging of 100 g with INCI name Helianthus annuus. International buyers source the material for consistent botanical input in both cosmetic and food-grade applications. CO2 Extracts Wholesale is the section where manufacturers can review bulk options and plan long-term procurement.
Specification highlights for formulators
The product is fully fat-soluble and remains stable under recommended storage conditions. It integrates into oil phases without affecting emulsion stability and provides a neutral odor profile suitable for sensitive formulas. Cosmetic labs appreciate the predictable behavior during heating and cooling cycles typical for industrial production lines. Extracts Wholesale supports scaling operations efficiently across different product categories.
Applications in cosmetic laboratories
Formulators incorporate the extract at 0.5-3 % in creams, serums and hair treatments. It supports skin barrier comfort and adds a light astringent note to toners and after-shave products. The material performs well in both cold-process and heated emulsions, offering flexibility to development teams working on multiple product lines simultaneously.
Role as botanical raw material for supplements and food

Sunflower CO2 Extract 1 kg is ordered by factories requiring standardized botanical input. The material is added during the blending stage according to internal specifications. Food industry clients value the clean label potential and ease of incorporation into existing recipes without altering final taste profiles.
Example formulation for a dietary supplement capsule blend
Sunflower CO2 Extract - 5 %, rice flour - 60 %, magnesium stearate - 2 %, capsule shell - q.s. The extract is premixed with the carrier before encapsulation to ensure uniform distribution. This approach allows precise control over active content in each capsule and simplifies quality control procedures at the manufacturing site.
Storage recommendations
Keep the product in a closed container in a cool, light-protected place. Shelf life extends to October 2028 with a minimum guaranteed period of two years under these conditions. Proper warehouse management, including temperature logging, helps maintain batch consistency across multiple production runs.
