Sourcing and specification focus for B2B buyers
International supplement and food manufacturers source Bidens tripartita CO2 extract produced in England via supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide. The resulting oily liquid arrives in 5 g packs with guaranteed 100 % natural composition and no solvent residues. CO2 Extracts section groups similar high-purity materials for precise formulation work. The material meets strict purity standards suitable for scaling from lab tests to full production.
Key technical parameters for scale-up
INCI name is Bidens tripartita CO2 extract. The material is fat-soluble and added at 0.01-2 % into the active phase once the batch temperature drops below 40 °C. This range supports both cosmetic emulsions and food-grade blends without altering final texture. CO2 Extracts Wholesale options exist for buyers ready to move beyond initial samples.
Applications across cosmetics, supplements and food production
Contract manufacturers and cosmetic labs incorporate the extract into creams, serums and body products. Simultaneously, dietary supplement producers and food factories worldwide purchase it as botanical raw material for functional beverages, confectionery items and nutritional formulations, available in both wholesale and retail quantities.
Larger volumes are listed as Bidens CO2 Extract 100 g.
Integration guidelines and solubility
Because the extract is fat-soluble, it disperses directly into oil or emulsion phases. No additional heating is required after the cooling stage, preserving the native profile of carotenoids and flavonoids.
Example formulation for a hair and scalp tonic
Rosemary hydrosol 90 g, Bidens CO2 extract 0.3 g, panthenol 2 g, glycerin 3 g, solubiliser 4.7 g. Combine hydrosol, panthenol and glycerin at room temperature. Pre-dissolve the extract in the solubiliser, then add to the base and stir until clear. This demonstrates controlled incorporation at low percentages.
Storage recommendations
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dark place. Shelf life extends to December 2028 under proper conditions. Buyers often begin with small packs to validate performance before committing to bulk orders.
Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended input level for food-grade blends?
Start at 0.01 % and adjust according to the final product matrix.
Is the 5 g pack suitable for pilot batches?
Yes, it supports laboratory trials and small-scale production before scaling.
Does the extract require special solubilisation in aqueous systems?
A solubiliser is necessary because the material is fat-soluble.
