Sourcing and specifications of Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract
Produced in England by supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide, the 1 kg pack delivers a 100 percent natural oily mass with waxy inclusions and characteristic odor. No solvent residues or heavy metals remain after processing. International buyers value batch-to-batch consistency for large-scale cosmetic and supplement lines. CO2 Extracts Wholesale supplies this raw material to labs and factories worldwide.
Key components and formulation value
The extract retains carotenoids, tocopherols, sterols and unsaturated fatty acids. These compounds contribute to the orange hue and rich texture in finished products. Fat-soluble nature allows easy incorporation into emulsions and anhydrous bases. The 1 kg size suits manufacturers needing stable supply for ongoing production.
Use in cosmetics, supplements and food
Formulators add it to creams, serums, after-sun products and hair masks. Dietary supplement producers and food industry factories incorporate the material as a botanical ingredient in functional blends, beverages and confectionery. Private formulators and global manufacturers purchase it both wholesale and retail. Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract 5 g offers the same profile in smaller packaging.
Further options appear in the Extracts Wholesale section. Combinations with other CO2 extracts create custom profiles for different skin types.
