Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Gooseberry CO2 extract originates from England and is produced by supercritical fluid extraction using natural carbon dioxide. The resulting oily liquid contains no solvent residues or heavy metals and arrives in 5 g packaging. CO2 Extracts of this type meet the needs of laboratories requiring consistent botanical raw materials.
Key properties for formulation work
The extract is fully fat-soluble and integrates into lipid phases without altering viscosity. It remains stable when stored in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container until December 2028. One hundred percent natural composition makes it suitable for clean-label projects in both cosmetic and food sectors.
Applications for cosmetic laboratories
Formulators add the ingredient to creams, serums and hair masks at 0.5-1 percent. Night creams receive 0.5-0.7 percent while body drainage creams use 1 percent. The material is introduced during the cooling phase below 40 degrees Celsius to preserve volatile components. Gooseberry CO2 Extract 100 g supports scalable production runs.
Sample body cream formulation
Aqueous phase 68 percent, oil phase 27 percent, emulsifier 3.5 percent, extract 0.8 percent, preservative 0.7 percent. The CO2 extract joins the batch at 35 degrees after emulsification completes.
Use as raw material in dietary supplements and food production
Supplement manufacturers and confectionery factories worldwide purchase this extract for incorporation into functional blends, beverages and chocolate fillings. It serves as a botanical ingredient that contributes natural flavor notes without synthetic additives. Botanical Extracts like this one are stocked in retail and wholesale channels for private formulators and industrial lines.
Integration guidelines and solubility
Dosage ranges from 0.5 to 1 percent depending on the final product category. Hair masks receive 1 percent while acne-support gels use 0.5 percent. Because the extract dissolves only in lipids, it must be added after the oil phase has been combined with the aqueous phase.
Frequently asked questions
What packaging sizes are available beyond the 5 g unit?
Larger containers up to 1 kg are offered for scale-up production after initial trials.
Does the extract affect the final color of emulsions?
At recommended concentrations the light oily liquid leaves no visible tint in finished formulas.
Is the material suitable for high-temperature processes?
Above 60 degrees Celsius the dosage should be lowered to 0.3 percent to maintain aromatic integrity.
Can it be blended with other botanical CO2 extracts?
Yes, it combines readily with seed and fruit extracts within the total recommended percentage.
