Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Horsetail CO2 Extract originates from England and is obtained via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. The 5 g pack contains a pure oily mass with INCI Equisetum arvense CO2 Extract. CO2 Extracts section lists full traceability data for B2B buyers. No solvent residues remain after processing. The material meets strict purity standards suitable for international cosmetic and food-grade applications.
Technical parameters for formulation
The extract is oil-soluble and added at 0.2-2 percent in the active phase. Temperature during incorporation should stay below 40 degrees Celsius to preserve volatile components. This specification suits both small-batch and industrial cosmetic lines. Botanical Extracts of this type demonstrate consistent performance across various lipid bases without altering viscosity.
Applications across industries
Cosmetic laboratories incorporate the material into creams, serums and hair masks. Food manufacturers and dietary supplement producers purchase it as a botanical raw material for beverages, confectionery and functional foods. CO2 Extracts Wholesale options support scalable production for global factories and private formulators alike.
Example supplement blend formulation
Carrier oil 97.5 g, Horsetail CO2 Extract 2 g, tocopherol 0.5 g. Blend at room temperature and fill into capsules or dropper bottles. The mixture serves as an intermediate for further processing into dietary products. Adjustments to percentages allow customization based on target market requirements.
Additional formulation considerations
The extract integrates well with common emollients and waxes used in both cosmetic and food sectors. Formulators should verify compatibility with other actives to maintain overall product stability during shelf-life testing.
Storage recommendations
Keep in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container. Shelf life extends until December 2028. Proper storage prevents oxidation and maintains the original sensory profile of the extract.
Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended phase for addition?
Add during the cooling phase after emulsification or directly into lipid bases.
Is the extract suitable for clear oil serums?
Yes, its oily consistency integrates transparently into anhydrous serum bases.
Can it be used above 40 degrees Celsius?
Prolonged heating above this temperature may reduce volatile fraction quality.
Are bulk quantities available from the same source?
Yes, larger packs up to 1 kg can be ordered through the wholesale channel.
