The 100 g pack size meets the needs of pilot batches and small-scale cosmetic or supplement production lines, with a minimum shelf life of two years when stored in a closed container away from light and heat.
Technical parameters for formulation development
INCI name is Fragaria ananassa. The ingredient is fully oil-soluble and can be added during the oil phase at temperatures below 45 °C. Its dense consistency allows low inclusion levels while contributing to the sensory profile of finished goods. No residual solvents remain after extraction, which simplifies regulatory documentation for international markets. Extracts Wholesale customers value consistent quality across multiple production runs.
Integration into cosmetic laboratory workflows
Formulators incorporate the extract into facial creams, body balms, serums and after-sun products to refresh and comfort the skin. It blends readily with plant oils and butters, supporting smooth textures in leave-on and rinse-off formulas. Strawberry CO2 extract 1 kg is frequently ordered when scaling up from laboratory to production volumes.
