Sourcing and specification details
Supercritical CO2 extraction from wheat germ yields a 100 percent natural oily liquid supplied in 100 g packs from England. CO2 Extracts Wholesale meets the INCI name Triticum aestivum L. CO2 Extract and contains no solvent residues. The material remains stable until December 2028 when stored cool and dark in a tightly closed container. Buyers appreciate the absence of heavy metals and the high concentration of natural grain-derived compounds.
Technical parameters for formulation
The extract is fat-soluble and recommended at 0.3-2 percent in the active phase. This dosage range supports consistent performance in emulsions and anhydrous blends for laboratories and manufacturers. Precise dosing helps maintain batch-to-batch reproducibility across cosmetic and food-grade applications.
Integration in cosmetic laboratory work
Cosmetic labs add the ingredient to serums, creams and masks for face and body care. Wheat Germ CO2 Extract 5 g serves as a convenient trial size before scaling production. Formulators value its compatibility in lipid-rich systems designed for mature and dry skin types.
Role as botanical raw material for supplements and food
Manufacturers of dietary supplements and food products worldwide source the extract for drinks, confectionery and functional blends. Extracts Wholesale positions it as a concentrated plant-derived component in these categories. It functions as raw material for dietary supplements in oil-based capsules and functional food mixtures.
Processing guidelines and compatibility
Add the material to the cooled lipid phase below 45 degrees Celsius to preserve sensitive constituents. It mixes readily with other CO2 extracts for custom active systems. Temperature control during incorporation ensures the retention of tocopherols and squalene throughout the production cycle.
Sample hair care blend
Wheat Germ CO2 Extract - 3 g, jojoba oil - 35 ml, argan oil - 25 ml, tocopherol - 1.5 ml. Warm the base oils to 40 degrees, remove from heat, incorporate the extract and tocopherol, stir until uniform and transfer to an amber bottle. The finished blend supports scalp conditioning when applied after shampooing.
Sample drink base formulation
Wheat Germ CO2 Extract - 1 g, MCT oil - 20 ml, tocopherol - 1 ml. Combine ingredients at room temperature, mix thoroughly and incorporate into finished beverages at the target dosage. This approach provides a stable botanical addition for functional drink development.
