Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Sphagnum CO2 Extract is produced from Sphagnum moss via supercritical CO2 extraction, yielding an oily mass containing sphagnol, phytosterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids. International buyers source this material for cosmetic laboratories and supplement manufacturing. CO2 Extracts Wholesale offers consistent quality for B2B formulations in dietary supplements and functional foods across global markets.
Key composition and solubility profile

Recommended input levels range from 0.01 to 2 percent depending on final product category. The material arrives in transport packaging suitable for bulk shipments to manufacturers.
Applications in cosmetic laboratories
Formulators add the extract to creams, serums and body balms to support skin comfort and moisture retention. It integrates well into hair masks and scalp toners, providing a botanical base without altering emulsion stability. Extracts Wholesale supports scaling from pilot batches to full production runs.
Role in dietary supplements and food manufacturing
