Sourcing and specification of Pine Buds CO2 Extract
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from Pinus sylvestris buds yields an oily mass free of solvent residues. The 1 kg pack is produced in England and meets the needs of contract manufacturers. CO2 Extracts Wholesale ensures consistent quality for large-scale production. International buyers value the standardized parameters that allow seamless integration into existing manufacturing processes without additional purification steps. This sourcing approach supports long-term supply agreements and reduces variability between batches.
Physical properties and input rates
The product is 100 % natural with INCI name Pinus sylvestris CO2 Extract. It is oil-soluble and added to the active phase at 0,05-0,2 %. Storage in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container preserves properties until December 2028. Production facilities conduct incoming quality checks upon receipt to confirm compliance with internal specifications. Temperature control during transport and warehousing further protects the volatile fractions present in the extract.
Role in cosmetic laboratory formulations
Laboratories incorporate the extract into creams, serums and body oils. Pine Buds CO2 Extract 100 g supports pilot batches before full-scale runs. The resinous profile suits woody fragrance accords in body care. Development teams often combine it with complementary botanical extracts to achieve balanced sensory characteristics and desired texture in finished emulsions. Compatibility testing with common cosmetic bases is performed early in the formulation process.
Application as raw material for supplements and food
Supplement and food manufacturers purchase the extract as a botanical ingredient for dietary supplements, functional beverages and confectionery. Extracts Wholesale delivers stable lots to factories worldwide. Large-volume buyers appreciate the convenience of single-container shipments that align with continuous production schedules. Each delivery includes documentation verifying origin and extraction method to meet regulatory requirements in target markets.
Dosage guidelines and phase addition
Add the extract during the oil phase below 40-45 °C. Compatibility testing with emulsifiers and preservatives is recommended for each production line. The recommended percentage remains within 0,05-0,2 %. Formulators adjust the exact level based on the intensity of aroma required in the final product and the presence of other aromatic components in the formula.
Example formulation for a body massage oil blend
Sweet almond oil - 98,7 %, Pine Buds CO2 Extract - 0,8 %, tocopherol - 0,5 %. Blend components at 35 °C until uniform and fill into containers. The mixture serves as a base for further cosmetic development. Prior to commercial production, stability studies under accelerated conditions help predict shelf performance of the finished goods.
