The 5 g pack is supplied in transport-grade containers and meets 100 % natural criteria without solvent residues. International buyers from supplement and food manufacturers value batch consistency and process predictability. CO2 Extracts section provides further technical details for scaling operations.
Functional role in lipid systems
The ingredient acts as a lipophilic component that disperses evenly in oil phases and supports emulsion stability. It integrates with emulsifiers, stabilizers, peptides and vitamins without altering rheology. In final products it promotes uniform texture and reduces phase separation risk when added at the correct stage. Botanical Extracts of this type are selected for complex combined systems in both cosmetics and nutraceuticals.
Applications across cosmetics and food sectors
Cosmetic labs incorporate the extract into creams, serums, toners, masks, hair balms and sunscreens. Supplement and food factories purchase it as botanical raw material for dietary supplements, functional beverages, confectionery and fortified foods. Wholesale and retail quantities serve private formulators and contract manufacturers worldwide. CO2 Extracts Wholesale options support larger production runs while maintaining quality.
Dosage, phase and solubility
Recommended input is 0,01-5 % into the active phase of an emulsion. The extract is oil-soluble and added during oil-phase preparation or controlled cooling. Temperature control ensures even distribution and long-term stability.
Example formulation: scalp care oil blend
Centella CO2 Extract - 10 g, squalane - 35 ml, argan oil - 30 ml, jojoba oil - 15 ml, lecithin - 4 g, tocopherol - 2 g. Combine oils and squalane first. Disperse the extract into the lipid phase, add lecithin, then incorporate tocopherol during cooling. The finished blend is applied to scalp and hair lengths.
Storage and shelf life
Store in a cool dark place in tightly closed containers until December 2028. Proper conditions preserve original characteristics throughout the period.
