CO2 extract Arnica BIO 100 g

Sourcing and specifications for B2B buyers

CO2 extract Arnica BIO 100 g is produced in Germany by supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide. The oily liquid carries INCI Arnica montana (Arnica) Flower extract, Helianthus annuus (sunflower extract) CO2 Extract and meets food-grade standards for further processing. CO2 Extracts Wholesale offers consistent batches suited to cosmetic labs and supplement manufacturers who require reliable supply without solvent residues.

Technical properties and formulation value

The extract is fully fat-soluble and integrates at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius. It preserves the native profile of the plant material and shows stable performance in emulsions and anhydrous systems. Labs value its compatibility with butters, oils and other lipophilic actives for balanced sensory profiles.

Applications in cosmetic laboratories

Formulators incorporate the extract into face and body creams, post-shave lotions and hair masks at 0.5-2 percent. It supports skin comfort and tone in sports and massage products while remaining suitable for sensitive skin lines at lower percentages such as 0.3-0.7 percent in baby creams.

Use as raw material for supplements and food

Supplement and functional food producers purchase this concentrate as a botanical ingredient for dietary supplements and confectionery blends. It is added to drink premixes and specialty food items where a natural plant extract is required. CO2 extract Arnica BIO 5 g serves for pilot trials, while Extracts Wholesale supports scaling to larger production runs.

Dosage guidelines and phase integration

Recommended input levels

Input levels range from 0.5 percent in hair and nail masks to 1.5-2 percent in targeted acne or post-epilation formulas. The extract enters the oil phase during cooling to protect thermolabile components.
