Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Wild Yam CO2 Extract is produced in Czechia by supercritical extraction of Dioscorea villosa roots, yielding a viscous liquid with INCI name CO2 Dioscorea Villosa (WILD YAM) Root Extract. The 1 kg pack is supplied in transport-grade containers suitable for global B2B logistics. CO2 Extracts Wholesale section lists this item alongside other botanical CO2 materials for formulators.
Technical parameters for formulation
Recommended input levels range from 0.05 % to 1 %. Sprays and micellar waters require 0.05-0.09 %, lifting and anti-age creams 0.1-0.3 %, balms up to 1 %. The extract dissolves in polysorbate-80, oils and triglycerides and is added after emulsification at temperatures below 40 °C. Storage in a dry cool place keeps the material stable until December 2028.
Role in dietary supplements and food manufacturing
Supplement producers and food factories worldwide source the extract as a botanical raw material for functional drinks, confectionery fillings and encapsulated complexes. Both private formulators and industrial buyers purchase retail and wholesale quantities to create dry blends and liquid concentrates. Wild Yam CO2 Extract 100 g serves as a convenient pilot batch for stability and compatibility trials.
Example formulation for a scalp toner
A 100 g batch contains 92.92 % floral water, 6 % polysorbate-80, 0.08 % Wild Yam CO2 Extract and 1 % preservative. The extract is first dispersed in the solubilizer, then combined with the aqueous phase at room temperature. The finished toner is filled into spray bottles and applied after shampooing to maintain scalp cleanliness.
Compatibility and processing notes
The viscous liquid integrates smoothly into oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions as well as anhydrous balms. Pilot batches are monitored for phase separation and color stability over 4 weeks at 40 °C. No additional antioxidants are required when used within the stated dosage range.
Logistics and shelf-life information
Product ships in sealed containers that protect against light and moisture. Minor caking may occur but does not affect performance. Extracts Wholesale inventory is maintained for continuous supply to international clients.
Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum processing temperature?
Do not exceed 40 °C after the extract has been introduced to preserve volatile fractions.
Is the material suitable for capsule production?
Yes, after pre-dispersion in oil or adsorption onto a carrier powder before granulation.
Can it be combined with other CO2 extracts?
Compatibility testing shows good results with most botanical CO2 materials at standard concentrations.
How is homogeneity verified in emulsions?
Visual inspection under polarized light or accelerated centrifugation is used for quality control.
