Product Description
Sourcing and specification of oak bark CO2 extract
Produced in England via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, the 5 g pack contains a pure oily liquid with INCI Quercus robur CO2 Extract. CO2 Extracts category focuses on solvent-free botanical concentrates suitable for scale-up from lab to production. The material arrives in transport packaging and meets strict purity standards for professional use.
Technical parameters for formulation teams
Fat-soluble ingredient with recommended input 0.01-2 % in the active phase and typical dosage 0.5-2 %. No residual solvents or heavy metals remain after extraction, supporting consistent performance across batches. Shelf life extends to December 2028 when stored correctly in a cool dark location inside a tightly closed container.
Integration in cosmetic laboratory work
Labs incorporate the extract into serums and after-shave balms to achieve balanced astringent notes. It performs reliably in emulsions cooled below 40 °C and pairs with other lipophilic actives without phase separation. This makes it a versatile choice for both small-scale trials and larger cosmetic development projects.
Role as raw material for dietary supplements and food production
Supplement manufacturers and confectionery plants source this extract as a botanical raw material for functional blends and beverages. Private formulators and factories worldwide use it in drink mixes and nutritional products where plant-derived concentrates are required. See larger pack options for scaling.
Sample formulation for scalp toner
Distilled water 87 %, vegetable glycerin 6 %, emulsifier 3 %, oak extract 0.5 %, broad-spectrum preservative 1 %. Dissolve glycerin and emulsifier first, add extract at 35 °C, then preservative. Transfer to spray bottle after stabilization for optimal texture and efficacy.
Storage guidelines and shelf life
Keep in a cool dark location in a tightly closed container until December 2028. Avoid metal contact to preserve compound integrity during extended storage periods. Industrial buyers can explore wholesale packs and the full botanical range.
