Milk Thistle CO2 Extract 5 g

Sourcing and specification details

Milk Thistle CO2 Extract is produced from fruits of Silybum marianum (l.) Gaertn grown in Ukraine. The oily mass contains silymarin, flavonoids, fatty acids, vitamin E and phytosterols. CO2 Extracts are supplied in transport packaging of 5 g with documented traceability. International buyers receive batches with consistent composition for supplement and food manufacturing. Each lot undergoes visual inspection to confirm the characteristic oily texture and uniform color.

Technical parameters for formulation

The ingredient is fat-soluble and incorporated at 0.1-2 % into the oil phase at temperatures below 40 °C. It integrates smoothly into emulsions and anhydrous systems without additional processing steps. Cosmetic laboratories and dietary supplement producers value its stability and neutral odor profile. Formulators note that the extract does not alter the melting point of common lipid bases used in soft capsules or balms.

Formulation example for dietary supplements

A soft-gel capsule blend uses 1.5 % extract combined with pumpkin seed oil and tocopherol. The mixture is filled at 35 °C into gelatin shells. The resulting capsules serve as a botanical raw material component in daily supplement routines for manufacturers worldwide. Milk Thistle CO2 Extract 1 kg offers an economical option when scaling from pilot batches to commercial volumes.

Food industry factories and confectionery plants source this extract for functional beverages, bars and coatings. Private formulators and wholesale customers apply the same material across global markets in both cosmetic and nutritional categories. Botanical Extracts like this one support clean-label initiatives by providing a concentrated plant fraction without solvents.

Integration guidelines

Heat the oil phase to 38 °C, add the extract and homogenize for three minutes. The product remains stable when stored away from light and oxygen. No special pH adjustment is required. Pilot tests confirm that viscosity remains within specification after six months of accelerated aging.

Packaging and longevity

Sealed containers stored cool and protected from light maintain quality for a minimum of two years. The best-before date printed on each unit is 12.2028. Warehouses maintain temperature logs to demonstrate compliance with storage recommendations.
