Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Supercritical CO2 extraction of flax seeds in England yields an oily liquid free of solvent residues. The 5 g pack size suits initial trials by supplement and food manufacturers. CO2 Extracts maintain the full lipid and lignan profile of the raw material. INCI reads Linum Usitatissimum CO2 Extract. International buyers appreciate the absence of chemical solvents and heavy metal traces in this botanical concentrate.
Technical parameters for formulation
The extract is 100 percent natural and fat-soluble. Recommended input is 0.1-2 percent into the active phase at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius. Storage in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container preserves quality until 03.2028. CO2 Flax Extract 100 g provides a convenient next step once pilot testing is complete.
Use in cosmetic laboratories and food production
Buyers incorporate the ingredient into creams, serums and hair masks. The same raw material serves supplement and functional food producers as well as confectionery factories worldwide, available in both wholesale and retail quantities. Botanical Extracts of this class integrate smoothly into complex multi-ingredient systems.
