Sourcing and specification of Lithospermum Erythrorhizon root CO2 extract
Produced in England via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, the 1 kg pack delivers an oily liquid free of solvent residues. CO2 Extracts Wholesale ensures batch consistency for cosmetic labs and supplement manufacturers. The material is 100 percent natural without heavy metal traces or solvent residues. This extraction method preserves the maximum amount of natural pigment and resin fractions from the root.
Integration parameters for industrial formulas
Fat-soluble extract enters emulsions at cooling stage below 45 degrees Celsius. Typical input ranges from 0,5 percent in micellar water to 1-2 percent in body creams and acne-oriented products. It blends with waxes and plant oils to adjust texture and stability in finished products.
Compatibility notes
Works with other CO2 concentrates such as clove or amaranth to fine-tune color and consistency in finished batches. Extracts Wholesale provides options for combining multiple botanical extracts in large-scale production.
