Sourcing and specification details
Rosemary CO2 Extract from England is obtained by supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide. The resulting oily liquid carries the INCI designation Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis) CO2 Extract and arrives in 5 g packs. CO2 Extracts of this type retain volatile fractions without solvent residues. This concentrated raw material belongs to the category of CO2 extracts uniting saturated botanical concentrates for professional formulation work.
Technical parameters for B2B buyers
The extract is fully fat-soluble and recommended at 0.5-2 percent in the active phase. Introduction occurs after cooling the batch to 40-45 degrees Celsius. Such parameters suit both cosmetic laboratories and food-grade production lines. The material acts as a natural stabilizer for vegetable and animal fats, extending shelf life in oils, sauces and meat products during industrial processing.
Further options appear in the Botanical Extracts section. Compatibility with botanical extract complexes is confirmed in the dedicated Botanical Extract Complexes area.
Role in dietary supplements and food manufacturing
Supplement and confectionery manufacturers incorporate the material as a botanical raw ingredient in functional blends and oil-based products. Private formulators and factories worldwide order the 5 g size for pilot runs of drinks, sauces and nutritional complexes. In cosmetic production the extract is added to creams, serums, hair balms and body products to slow base oil rancidity and protect formulations from oxidative processes.
