Sourcing and specifications
Chestnut CO2 Extract from England arrives as a solvent-free oily liquid obtained by supercritical fluid extraction. The 5 g pack suits laboratory trials and small-scale production runs for supplement and cosmetic manufacturers. CO2 Extracts category groups the purest botanical materials processed without chemical residues.
The method uses natural carbon dioxide under pressure at low temperatures to retain the native composition of saponins, flavonoids and tannins from chestnut seeds. The resulting material is 100 percent natural and free from impurities or heavy metal traces.
Technical parameters for formulation
Input level ranges from 0.05 to 1 % in the active phase. The material is fat-soluble and remains stable when added below 40 °C, preserving the native profile of saponins and flavonoids. It integrates smoothly into oil phases of emulsions without altering viscosity or requiring additional solvents.
If the extract thickens during cold storage, a brief water-bath warming restores original flow while maintaining full activity.
Integration in cosmetic development
Labs incorporate the extract into body creams, eye gels and post-sun products. It supports even distribution in hair and scalp care formulations as well, contributing to balanced textures in balms and conditioners. Larger 100 g packs allow seamless transition from trials to pilot batches.
Raw material for supplements and food
Supplement and confectionery factories purchase the concentrate as a botanical ingredient for dietary supplements, functional beverages and flavor bases. Wholesale CO2 extract options support industrial volumes where clean-label plant materials are required.
Sample body emulsion
Combine 47 g neutral base cream, 0.3 g Chestnut CO2 Extract, 0.2 g Grape Seed CO2 Extract, 0.5 g vitamin E and two drops of menthol oil. Melt base to 35-38 °C, add actives, mix and allow 24 hours stabilization at room temperature. The finished emulsion offers a smooth, non-greasy feel suitable for daily body application.
Storage guidelines
Keep the container closed in a cool dark place until December 2028. Slight warming in a water bath restores fluidity if needed. Proper packaging shields the material from light and heat throughout its shelf life.
