Sourcing and specification details
Senna alexandrina MILL CO2 leaf extract is produced in Czechia by supercritical extraction and delivered as a viscous liquid with a characteristic scent. International buyers source this material for consistent quality across cosmetic and supplement batches. CO2 Extracts Wholesale section lists current bulk options for laboratories and factories seeking reliable botanical inputs for large-scale production runs.
Technical parameters for formulation
Usage level ranges from 0.05 % to 1 %. Sprays and micellar waters take 0.05-0.09 %, lifting creams 0.1-0.3 %, balms up to 1 %. The extract dissolves in polysorbate-80, oils and triglycerides and is added at temperatures below 40 °C. This flexibility supports both cold-process and heated emulsion systems used by cosmetic labs worldwide. Formulators appreciate the predictable behaviour during scale-up from bench to production floor.
Botanical raw material for supplements and food
Supplement manufacturers and food factories purchase the extract as a botanical ingredient for dietary supplement formulations and functional food products. Confectionery and beverage producers incorporate it into drink and dessert bases while meeting food-grade requirements. Private formulators and contract manufacturers rely on this raw material to create consistent batches that meet international standards. Senna Meccan Leaf CO2 Extract 100 g serves as a convenient trial size before scaling to 1 kg packs for ongoing production needs.
Applications across cosmetic categories
The extract integrates into creams, serums, toners, masks, hair care products and body balms. It supports skin toning and texture improvement when used at recommended levels. Hair care formulas benefit from the addition through enhanced volume and structure. Its solubility profile allows seamless incorporation into both water-dispersible and oil-based systems without altering viscosity or stability. Many cosmetic laboratories source additional volumes through Extracts Wholesale channels to maintain continuous supply during peak manufacturing periods.
Example scalp toner formulation
Rosemary hydrosol - 96.9 %, polysorbate-80 - 2 %, extract - 0.1 %, preservative - 1 %. Blend at room temperature and package in spray bottles. Apply after shampooing to refresh the scalp and provide a light toning effect suitable for daily use by end consumers.
Storage and shelf life
Keep in a dry, cool place in closed containers until June 2028. Minor caking does not affect performance and the material remains suitable for both pilot and commercial manufacturing. Proper storage preserves the characteristic sensory profile across multiple production cycles.
