Calendula CO2 Extract 100 g

Origin and production details

Calendula flowers sourced from England undergo supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide to produce a concentrated oily liquid free from solvent traces. CO2 Extracts Wholesale supplies this material in 100 g packs under the INCI name Marigold (Calendulae Officinalis) Flower CO2 Extract for consistent use in professional settings. International supplement and food manufacturers as well as cosmetic labs select this grade because each batch maintains identical levels of carotenoids and resins without heavy metal contamination.

Physical characteristics and integration

The fat-soluble form blends directly into lipid phases when the mixture stays below 40 degrees Celsius. This property supports stable emulsions and oil-based systems across different production scales. Formulators appreciate the absence of chemical residues that could affect final product clarity or odor profiles during extended storage.

Role in cosmetics and nutritional products

Manufacturers add the concentrate to facial creams, body balms, lip treatments and post-shave preparations where it contributes to skin comfort. Separate demand comes from dietary supplement producers and food industry facilities that incorporate it as botanical raw material into functional drinks, confectionery items and fortified foods. Both private formulators and large factories worldwide purchase the ingredient in retail packs or bulk quantities for ongoing operations.

Handling recommendations

Input levels range from 0.05 to 0.2 percent of total formula weight placed in the active phase. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures risks degrading sensitive fractions so cooling before addition is standard practice. The extract pairs well with common plant oils, emulsifiers and thickeners used in industrial batches.

Sample formulation for a scalp care oil

Argan oil 40 g, jojoba oil 35 g, calendula CO2 extract 0.12 g, tocopherol 0.4 g. Warm the base oils gently, cool to 40 degrees, stir in the extract and antioxidant until uniform then transfer to dark bottles. This blend suits regular application to hair and scalp areas.

Packaging and longevity

Sealed containers protect the material until December 2028 when kept cool, dry and away from direct light. Calendula CO2 Extract 1 kg offers an option for higher volume requirements while Extracts Wholesale covers additional sourcing needs.
