Sourcing and specification details
Fireweed CO2 Extract (Chamerion angustifolium Extract) is produced in Ukraine by supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide. The resulting oily liquid contains no solvent residues. CO2 Extracts Wholesale supplies the material to cosmetic laboratories and dietary supplement manufacturers worldwide. Composition includes organic acids, lectins, pectin, vitamin C, flavonoids, alkaloids and trace elements.
Integration in supplement and food formulations
Manufacturers of dietary supplements and functional foods incorporate the extract as botanical raw material in beverage blends and confectionery bases. Food industry factories add it to drink premixes and nutritional complexes at 0,2-0,5 % to maintain clean-label profiles. Private formulators also purchase smaller packs for custom drink recipes.
Cosmetic laboratory applications
Creams, serums, hair balms and after-sun products receive the fat-soluble extract in the oil phase below 40 °C. It tones the skin, supports barrier function and provides antioxidant support in finished formulas. Fireweed CO2 Extract 5 g serves as a sample size for stability trials before scaling to full production runs.
Example supplement blend
A 100 g dry blend for capsules contains 0,3 g extract, 40 g acerola powder, 30 g spirulina and 29,7 g maltodextrin. The extract is dispersed in a small amount of carrier oil before dry mixing. The blend is encapsulated at room temperature and tested for uniformity.
Recommended input percentages
Standard dosage is 0,2-0,5 %; cosmetic leave-on products may reach 2 %. Perform compatibility and stability testing prior to production scale-up. Sensitivity testing on the inner elbow is advised before full use in any new formula.
Packaging and shelf life
The 1 kg transport container keeps the product stable until December 2028 when stored cool and dark in a tightly closed vessel. Regular checks of seal integrity prevent oxidation during long-term storage.
