Sourcing and specification profile
Fennel CO2 Extract is obtained from Foeniculum vulgare fruit by supercritical fluid extraction with naturally sourced carbon dioxide. The resulting oily mass with waxy inclusions carries the characteristic odor and contains no solvent residues. This material meets strict requirements for purity and is supplied from England in 100 g packs. CO2 Extracts Wholesale provides consistent lots for formulation teams working at laboratory or industrial scale. Professional buyers appreciate the absence of heavy metals and the retention of volatile aromatic compounds through the gentle extraction process.
Technical parameters for formulation
The fat-soluble ingredient is introduced into the active phase at 0.01-2.5 %. Recommended working dosage lies between 0.1 % and 0.5 %. Country of production is England; best-before date is December 2028 when stored cool and dark in a tightly closed container. The extract remains stable across a wide range of cosmetic emulsions and food matrices provided temperature during incorporation stays below 40 °C.
Integration into cosmetic bases
Formulators add the extract to serums, body butters and scalp treatments where it contributes to skin comfort and hair conditioning. Example blend for a facial serum: 68 % jojoba oil, 25 % squalane, 5 % vitamin E, 1.5 % emulsifier, 0.5 % Fennel CO2 Extract. Blend at 35 °C until homogeneous and package immediately. The same material performs well in leave-on body products and rinse-off hair masks at the lower end of the dosage range.
Role in dietary supplements and food production
Supplement and confectionery manufacturers purchase the extract as a botanical raw material for flavoring functional beverages and baked goods. It serves as a concentrated source of fennel character without introducing additional solvents. Fennel CO2 Extract 5 g serves as a convenient trial size before scaling to production quantities. Large-scale users source the ingredient for drink blends, protein bars and functional confectionery where precise dosing ensures batch-to-batch consistency.
Packaging and handling notes
Material arrives in transport-grade containers of 100 g. Larger volumes are available through Extracts Wholesale for continuous manufacturing lines. Each batch is packed to prevent oxidation during transit, and buyers are advised to transfer opened material into smaller airtight vessels for daily use.
Stability and storage
Keep in a cool, dark location in a sealed vessel. Once opened, use within twelve months to maintain sensory qualities. The recommended storage conditions preserve both the oily texture and the characteristic aroma profile until the printed best-before date.
Frequently asked questions
Is the extract water-dispersible?
No, it requires an oil or emulsion phase for proper incorporation and will separate if forced into purely aqueous systems.
What is the maximum recommended dosage in food applications?
Follow local flavoring regulations; typical levels stay below 0.5 % to achieve balanced taste without overpowering other ingredients.
Does the product contain heavy metals?
Supercritical CO2 extraction leaves no detectable traces of heavy metals or solvents, meeting the purity expectations of international cosmetic and food manufacturers.
