Sourcing and specification details
Horse Chestnut CO2 Extract is produced in England by supercritical fluid extraction using natural carbon dioxide. The result is a 100 percent natural oily liquid supplied in 5 g packs with no solvent residues or heavy metals. CO2 Extracts of this type are chosen by formulators for consistent composition and ease of handling. INCI name: Horse Chestnut Extract CO2 Extract. Additional sourcing options appear in the Botanical Extracts section.
Technical parameters for manufacturing
The extract is fat-soluble and added to the oil or active phase at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius. Typical input level is 0.05-1 percent, with most formulas using 0.2-0.5 percent. These levels integrate smoothly into emulsions without altering viscosity or stability. Quality control benefits from the absence of impurities.
Role in supplement and food production
Supplement manufacturers and food factories source the material as a botanical ingredient for functional blends, beverages and confectionery items. Horse Chestnut CO2 Extract 100 g serves as raw material for dietary supplements and nutraceutical formulations. Private formulators and industrial clients purchase both wholesale and retail worldwide.
Integration guidelines for formulators
Introduce the extract after the emulsion cools to preserve volatile fractions. Its solubility in lipids ensures even distribution throughout the batch, supporting consistent performance in finished goods.
Sample body lotion formulation
Horse Chestnut CO2 Extract - 0.3 percent, shea butter - 6 percent, jojoba oil - 4 percent, emulsifier - 3 percent, distilled water - to 100 percent, preservative - as required. Dissolve the extract in the oils, heat to 40 degrees, then combine with the aqueous phase under homogenization. Apply to body skin after showering to support skin appearance.
Storage and shelf life
Keep in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container. Best before date is 11.2028. Once opened, use within 12 months.
