Amaranth CO2 Extract 5 g

How Amaranth CO2 Extract Supports Modern Skincare Formulas

Amaranth CO2 Extract in a 5 g package is a concentrated lipid complex obtained through carbon dioxide extraction from amaranth seeds, without solvents or high temperatures. This gentle technology preserves a rich profile of naturally occurring compounds, including squalene, tocopherols, phytosterols and unsaturated fatty acids. Such a composition places the product within the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrates for professional skin and hair care formulations. The compact 5 g size is particularly convenient for home-based cosmetic making and small trial batches, allowing formulators to test the ingredient before scaling up a recipe.

The main application of amaranth extract lies in the production of creams, serums, masks and balms for face, body and hair. Squalene present in the extract has a strong ability to restore the skin's lipid barrier, reduce signs of dryness and improve elasticity. This makes the ingredient popular in anti-aging formulations, products for sensitive and dehydrated skin, as well as in hair care and eyelash growth stimulating cosmetics. Beyond the cosmetic industry, the extract is used in dietary supplement manufacturing and pharmaceutical research, valued for its high phytosterol concentration.

Typical dosage of amaranth CO2 extract ranges from 1 to 5 percent of the total formulation weight, depending on the product type and desired texture. It is recommended to add the component at the final stage of preparation, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius, to preserve heat-sensitive active substances. The extract blends well with vegetable oils, waxes and other lipophilic ingredients, and in complex formulations it is often combined with other CO2 concentrates for enhanced results. An interesting synergy appears when paired with CO2 Extract of Green Coffee, which adds antioxidant protection, or with St. John's wort CO2 extract, known for its soothing effect on irritated skin.

Store the extract in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to preserve the activity of its components for as long as possible. Once opened, it is advisable to use the product within the manufacturer's recommended timeframe, minimizing prolonged air exposure. To broaden the effect of a formulation, amaranth extract is often combined with Parsley CO2 Extract, which adds a brightening and toning effect, particularly valued in products designed for tired, dull-looking skin.
