Product Description
Sourcing Rhododendron CO2 Extract from Ukraine
Rhododendron ferrugineum shoots undergo supercritical CO2 extraction to yield an oily liquid containing tannins, essential oil and fatty acids. The 100 g pack meets specifications for both laboratory and industrial use. CO2 Extracts Wholesale provides the same material in larger volumes for scale-up projects.
Specification and solubility profile
The ingredient remains stable when stored in closed containers in a cool dark place until December 2028. Fat-soluble character allows direct incorporation into oil phases without additional carriers. INCI name Rhododendron ferrugineum confirms botanical origin.
Integration in cosmetic laboratory workflows
Formulators add the extract at 0.01-0.2 percent during emulsification or cooling phase below 40 °C. It blends with carrier oils to create serums, body butters and scalp treatments. Rhododendron CO2 Extract 1 kg serves pilot batches moving to commercial production.
Role as raw material for dietary supplements and food
Supplement manufacturers and food factories worldwide source this extract as a botanical ingredient for functional blends and confectionery bases. Private formulators and contract manufacturers include it in drink premixes and nutritional powders at permitted levels. Extracts Wholesale supports both retail and bulk procurement.
Dosage guidelines and phase compatibility
Recommended input stays within 0.01-0.2 percent of total formula weight. The extract disperses fully in lipid phases; aqueous systems require suitable emulsifiers for homogeneity.
Example hair and scalp conditioning blend
Combine 0.08 percent extract with 3 percent plant oil blend and 1 percent conditioning agent in the oil phase. Heat to 35 °C, emulsify with aqueous phase, then cool and package. The resulting lotion applies evenly to scalp and hair lengths.
