Sourcing and specification overview
Burdock root CO2 extract originates from England and is obtained through supercritical fluid extraction using natural carbon dioxide. CO2 Extracts section lists this 5 g pack as an oily liquid under INCI Burdock (Arctium Lappa) Root CO2 Extract. The process yields a 100 percent natural concentrate free of solvent residues and heavy metals, preserving key compounds such as inulin, tannins and fatty acids for precise formulation needs.
Technical parameters and formulation compatibility
The fat-soluble material integrates directly into the active phase of emulsions at 0,01-5 percent. Supplement manufacturers apply 0,05-0,5 percent. Shelf life reaches November 2028 when stored in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container. These parameters support consistent performance across laboratory and industrial scales.
Applications across cosmetic labs and food production
Cosmetic laboratories incorporate the extract into serums, masks and body creams. Supplement and food factories source it as botanical raw material for drinks, confectionery items and functional foods. Private formulators and manufacturers worldwide purchase both retail and wholesale quantities for development and production runs, including larger pack sizes for scale-up.
Processing guidelines and dosage ranges
Add during the cooling phase below 40 degrees Celsius. The extract blends readily with carrier oils and other CO2 materials, remaining stable without additional emulsifiers in oil-based systems. Burdock CO2 extract supports versatile applications in both cosmetic and supplement formulations.
Sample laboratory formulation for body cream
Jojoba oil 38 g, shea butter 22 g, rosemary hydrosol 35 g, tocopherol 1 g, peppermint essential oil 0,4 g. Heat oils and hydrosol to 40 degrees, incorporate the extract and tocopherol, mix until uniform and allow to cool. The finished cream undergoes stability testing before further trials.
Storage conditions and long-term stability
Keep in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container at temperatures not exceeding 25 degrees Celsius. Proper storage maintains activity through the stated expiration date, supporting inventory management for B2B buyers.
