Product Description
Sourcing and specifications for B2B buyers
Saw Palmetto CO2 Extract arrives from the United States in 1 kg containers as a 100 % natural oily liquid. CO2 Extracts Wholesale meets the needs of supplement and food manufacturers who require consistent batches without solvent residues. The INCI name is Serenoa Serrulata (Sawpalmetto) Fruit Extract CO2 Extract, and each lot undergoes verification for purity and absence of heavy metals.
Key physical properties
The extract is fat-soluble and enters the oil or emulsion phase. Recommended input level stays between 2 and 5 % of total formula weight. Supercritical CO2 extraction preserves fatty acids and phytosterols without thermal damage, delivering reliable performance across multiple production cycles.
Use in supplement and food manufacturing
Contract manufacturers and dietary supplement plants purchase the material as botanical raw ingredient for capsules, functional beverages and confectionery blends. Cosmetic laboratories also incorporate it into serums and body emulsions. Retail formulators and wholesale buyers receive the same 1 kg packs for pilot and production runs. Saw Palmetto CO2 Extract 5 g serves as an entry point for compatibility testing before committing to larger quantities.
Sample body emulsion
Distilled water 75 %, cetearyl alcohol 6 %, emollient 10 %, extract 3 %, glycerin 4 %, preservative 2 %. Heat oil phase to 45 °C, add extract last and homogenize briefly to achieve uniform texture and long-term stability.
Integration guidelines
Add the extract below 45 °C after cooling the batch. It pairs with other lipophilic CO2 extracts in the same phase. Extracts Wholesale supports scaling from small trials to full commercial output with predictable results every time.
Storage recommendations
Keep in a cool dark place in tightly closed containers until December 2028. Minimize air exposure after opening to limit oxidation and maintain quality over extended periods.
