Sourcing and specifications
Supercritical CO2 extraction from aged iris rhizomes in England yields a 100 percent natural oily liquid without solvent residues or heavy metals. CO2 Extracts section presents this INCI Iris (Iris) CO2 Extract in 5 g packs for precise B2B evaluation by supplement producers and cosmetic labs. The material carries a distinctive violet-woody powdery profile valued for its stability in long-term formulations.
Technical parameters for manufacturers
Fat-soluble ingredient enters the active phase at temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius. Recommended input levels range from 0.3 to 1.5 percent in cosmetic emulsions and 0.05 to 0.5 percent in fragrance compounds. This allows formulators to achieve consistent aromatic depth across multiple production batches without altering base viscosity.
Integration into supplement and food lines
Supplement producers and food factories source the extract as botanical raw material for functional beverages and confectionery items. Wholesale buyers and private formulators worldwide purchase it for dietary supplement formulations and flavor-aroma blends in retail and bulk quantities where precise dosing supports regulatory compliance.
Example formulation for cosmetic labs
Scalp serum: 30 ml jojoba oil, 0.4 g iris CO2 extract, 0.15 g fucus CO2 extract, 0.25 g tocopherol. Combine oils at room temperature, add extracts after base preparation, and package in dropper bottles after 48 hours maturation to ensure uniform distribution of aromatic compounds.
Storage guidelines
Keep tightly closed in a cool dark place until December 2028 to protect volatile aromatic compounds from oxidation and light exposure during extended warehouse storage.
Batch testing and scaling
The 5 g size supports initial specification checks and solubility trials before moving to larger volumes from the same production batch for full commercial runs. Additional options are listed in the CO2 Extracts Wholesale area.
Frequently asked questions
What is the extraction method?
Supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide, free from heavy metals and residual solvents, ensuring high purity for both cosmetic and food-grade applications.
Is the material suitable for alcoholic perfumes?
Yes, it dissolves readily in alcohol bases and oil phases alike, allowing flexible use across waterless and emulsified systems.
Can it be used above 45 degrees?
Higher temperatures may diminish aromatic intensity, so late-stage addition after cooling is advised to maintain full olfactory character.
How does it perform in long shelf-life products?
The extract remains stable in tightly sealed packaging, supporting consistent fragrance performance in finished goods stored up to the declared best-before date.
