Sourcing and specification details
Peppermint CO2 Extract is produced in England through supercritical fluid extraction using natural carbon dioxide, resulting in a pure oily liquid free from solvent residues or heavy metals. This method ensures the retention of key components such as menthol, essential oils and flavonoids within the final botanical raw material. CO2 Extracts Wholesale are packed in transport containers holding exactly 100 grams each, meeting the needs of cosmetic laboratories and food manufacturers who require consistent quality across batches. The INCI designation is Mentha piperita L. CO2 Extract and the product remains 100 percent natural without added impurities or synthetic formulation.
Technical parameters for B2B buyers
The extract is fully fat-soluble and incorporated into the active phase at concentrations between 0.01 and 0.6 percent. Cosmetic labs and supplement producers introduce it after the emulsion or oil blend has cooled below 45 degrees Celsius to preserve volatile fractions. This temperature guideline prevents degradation while allowing seamless integration into creams, serums, masks and body care emulsions. Documentation supplied with each shipment confirms the absence of solvents and supports traceability for industrial compliance.
Use in dietary supplements and food production
Manufacturers of dietary supplements and functional foods worldwide source this extract as botanical raw material for beverages, confectionery items and nutritional blends. Private formulators and large factories alike apply it within approved limits to deliver consistent flavor and aroma profiles. Peppermint CO2 Extract, 1 kg offers the same specification in larger volume for scaled production runs. Extracts Wholesale shipments maintain identical purity standards, enabling seamless transition from pilot batches to full commercial output without reformulation.
Example supplement soft-gel blend
Medium-chain triglyceride oil constitutes 98.7 percent of the formula, peppermint CO2 extract is added at 0.5 percent and mixed tocopherols at 0.8 percent. The components are combined at 35 degrees Celsius, then filled into soft-gel capsules. The resulting product serves as a botanical ingredient in dietary supplement manufacturing.
Phase compatibility and dosage guidelines
Because the extract dissolves completely in lipid phases, it requires no pre-emulsification or additional carriers beyond the oil or emulsion base. Formulators adjust dosage according to the desired intensity of cooling sensation and aroma strength while staying inside the stated 0.01-0.6 percent range. Stability testing confirms that the material retains its profile when stored and processed under recommended conditions.
Storage recommendations and shelf life
Keep the container in a cool, dark location with the lid securely closed. The material retains full quality until December 2028 when handled according to these instructions. Proper storage prevents oxidation and maintains the original sensory characteristics throughout the stated period.
