The method preserves key plant fractions in a stable lipophilic form suitable for consistent batch manufacturing across cosmetic and food sectors.
Technical parameters for formulation
Fat-soluble ingredient dosed at 0,03-2 % into the active phase. Storage life reaches 12.2028 when kept cool and dark in a tightly closed container. The extract integrates smoothly with common cosmetic bases and shows no adverse interaction with standard emulsifiers or waxes used in industrial processes.
Integration in cosmetic laboratory work
Labs incorporate the extract into serums, lotions and balms to enhance skin comfort and softness. It performs consistently across emulsion systems and oil blends. CO2 Comfrey Extrac 5 g serves for initial compatibility testing before scaling up.
Role in dietary supplements and food manufacturing
Manufacturers of dietary supplements and functional foods purchase the extract as botanical raw material for drinks, confectionery and fortified products. Private formulators and factories follow applicable food-grade regulations. The ingredient supports formulation of stable blends without altering sensory profiles of the final items.
Example supplement blend for beverage development
Carrier oil 85 g, comfrey CO2 extract 1,2 g, tocopherol 0,8 g, flavor carrier 13 g. Blend the extract with the carrier oil at 40 °C, add tocopherol and disperse into the final drink base. This approach yields uniform distribution and maintains product stability during storage.
Compatibility and scale-up notes
The extract pairs with butters, waxes and standard emulsifiers. Extracts Wholesale covers larger volumes for contract manufacturing. No special equipment is required for incorporation at recommended temperatures.
