Sourcing and specification details
Barley CO2 Extract originates from Hordeum spontaneum grain grown in Ukraine and processed via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction to produce a concentrated oily mass. This method retains polyunsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols in their natural proportions. The product meets INCI requirements under Hordeum spontaneum and arrives in 1 kg transport containers ready for global distribution. CO2 Extracts Wholesale buyers receive full traceability documentation with each batch.
Physical parameters include a viscous oily consistency that remains stable under recommended conditions. No solvents are employed during production, resulting in a clean botanical ingredient suitable for sensitive formulation work.
Physical properties and solubility
Solubility is restricted to lipid phases, making the extract ideal for oil-based systems and emulsions. Input percentages range from 1 to 2 percent depending on the desired intensity of the final product. The material integrates smoothly into both cosmetic and food-grade lipid matrices without altering texture or stability when used within these limits.
Manufacturers appreciate the consistent fatty acid profile that supports reproducible results across production runs. Temperature tolerance during processing stays below 40 degrees Celsius to preserve volatile components.
Integration into cosmetic and supplement bases
The extract enters the lipid phase of creams, serums, hair oils and body balms after the emulsion has cooled below 40 degrees Celsius. It pairs well with common cosmetic esters, vegetable butters and waxes, contributing to a smooth application feel. Formulators in cosmetic laboratories value its compatibility with both anhydrous and emulsified systems.
Applications for dietary supplements and food manufacturers
Supplement producers and confectionery factories source this botanical raw material for inclusion in functional food blends, beverage emulsions and dietary supplement capsules. Barley CO2 Extract 100 g serves pilot-scale development while Extracts Wholesale support continuous industrial supply worldwide. Private formulators also purchase smaller packs for custom nutrition projects.
Usage remains strictly as an ingredient in finished goods; the extract provides a concentrated plant profile for product developers seeking natural botanical notes.
Sample formulation for a hair oil
Combine 70 percent argan oil, 26.5 percent jojoba oil, 2 percent Barley CO2 Extract, 1 percent tocopherol and 0.5 percent fragrance. Blend components at 30 degrees Celsius until homogeneous. Apply three to five milliliters to scalp and lengths, allowing thirty minutes of contact time prior to shampooing. This example illustrates typical incorporation levels for leave-on hair treatments.
Storage recommendations
Store sealed containers in a clean dry environment between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, protected from direct light and humidity. Once opened, the material maintains quality for twelve months when kept under these conditions. Regular stock rotation ensures optimal freshness for all production batches.
