Sourcing and specification focus
Grapefruit CO2 extract 5 g is produced in England via supercritical fluid extraction of Citrus paradisi peel. The process yields a solvent-free oily liquid rich in limonene and naringin, meeting strict purity standards for international buyers. CO2 Extracts category ensures traceability from raw material to final concentrate. This makes it a reliable choice for labs requiring consistent quality across batches.
Technical parameters for formulation
Recommended dosage 0.01-2% added to the cool-down phase below 40°C. Fat-soluble, the extract remains stable until December 2028 when stored sealed, cool and protected from light. Suitable for both pilot batches and scaled production. Buyers appreciate the absence of heavy metals and residual solvents.
Integration in cosmetic laboratory work
Labs incorporate the extract into serums and body oils for its fresh citrus note and pore-refining properties in leave-on products. It blends seamlessly with jojoba or grapeseed oils as carriers, allowing flexible texture adjustments in final formulas.
Raw material for dietary supplements and food manufacturing
Supplement manufacturers and food factories worldwide source this concentrate as a botanical ingredient for functional beverages, teas and confectionery items. Private formulators and wholesale clients use it in dietary supplement blends while verifying food-grade compliance separately. Grapefruit CO2 extract 100 g supports larger scale testing without reformulation.
Sample supplement blend example

Storage guidelines
