Produced in England and supplied in 1 kg transport packaging, the material meets requirements for cosmetic labs and supplement manufacturers. CO2 Extracts Wholesale batches undergo consistent quality checks for purity and fatty solubility.
Key technical parameters and formulation value
The extract is fat-soluble and incorporated at 0.05-1% in the active phase for cosmetics or 0.2-0.5% in food-grade blends. Its neutral profile allows seamless integration into emulsions without altering texture or scent intensity. Shelf life extends to November 2028 when stored in a cool, dark, tightly closed container.
Applications in cosmetic laboratories and contract manufacturing
Contract manufacturers add the ingredient to body creams, serums and after-sun products to refresh skin and support its natural barrier. It works well in hair and scalp care lines for private label ranges. Horse Chestnut CO2 Extract 5 g serves as a convenient pilot size for stability testing.
