Sourcing and Production Specifications
Rosehip CO2 Extract comes from Rosa canina fruit grown and processed in England via supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide. The resulting oily mass with waxy inclusions and characteristic odor is 100 percent natural and free of impurities. CO2 Extracts Wholesale supplies the 1 kg packaging to labs and factories requiring consistent raw material volumes for ongoing production.
Technical Characteristics and Compatibility
The fat-soluble ingredient enters the active phase of emulsions at 0,01-5 percent. It preserves carotenoids and tocopherols and pairs effectively with carrier oils such as jojoba, shea and argan. Introduction occurs after cooling the batch below 40-45 degrees Celsius to protect heat-sensitive components and maintain formula stability.
Usage in Cosmetic Laboratories
Formulators incorporate the extract into serums, creams, toners, masks and hair care lines where it supports skin barrier functions through its natural lipid profile. Rosehip CO2 Extract 5 g allows small-scale testing before committing to bulk orders for continuous manufacturing.
Role for Supplement and Food Manufacturers
International buyers purchase the concentrate as botanical raw material for dietary supplements and the food industry, including functional beverages, confectionery and enriched oil blends. Factories and private producers worldwide source it wholesale and retail to create nutritional products that rely on plant-derived carotenoids without synthetic additives. Extracts Wholesale provides access to varied options for large-scale output.
