Lemon CO2 extract 1 kg

CO₂ Lemon Extract for cosmetics, perfumery, food and pharmaceutical formulations

CO₂ Lemon Extract is a concentrated natural ingredient obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction of Citrus limon peel. This advanced method preserves the full spectrum of active components including limonene, citral, flavonoids, terpenes, and phytoncides, making it ideal for clean and high-performance formulas.

With its intense fresh citrus scent and characteristic yellow hue, the extract is widely used in cosmetics, perfumery, candle making, aromatherapy, food flavoring (where allowed), and even in pharmaceutical products. Its natural antiseptic, sebum-regulating, and antioxidant properties make it a versatile component across multiple industries.
