Bulk Chia Seed Concentrate for Large-Scale Cosmetic and Functional Formulations
Chia CO2 Extract in a 1 kg pack is intended for manufacturers who need a reliable volume of raw material for line production of cosmetics, functional food additives and pharmaceutical blends. The seeds are processed through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, a method that preserves the full complex of fatty acids, phytosterols and natural antioxidants without thermal degradation and without residual solvents. This extraction technique makes the raw material valuable across several industries at once: cosmetic manufacturing, food production, pharmaceutical labs and the sports nutrition segment. This product belongs to the category CO2 Extracts, which features concentrates with high biological activity obtained without aggressive chemical solvents.
In cosmetic manufacturing, chia extract is used in developing facial and body creams, serums, hair oils, lip balms and anti-age formulations. The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids present in the concentrate support restoration of the skin's lipid barrier, while the high level of natural antioxidants slows oxidative processes in finished formulas, extending shelf life. The recommended dosage for cosmetic emulsions ranges from 1 to 5 percent of total mass, while anhydrous balms and oil complexes can tolerate up to 10 percent. The extract should be added during the oil phase at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius to avoid degrading heat-sensitive compounds.
In food manufacturing, the supercritical chia extract serves as a concentrated source of polyunsaturated fatty acids used in functional oils, dietary supplements and fortified food products. In the pharmaceutical sector, the raw material is considered for encapsulated forms and oil-based solutions where purity and the absence of residual solvents are critical. In candle making and household product manufacturing, the concentrate also finds use as an additive contributing a subtle nutty note to aromatic compositions.
For production lines, compatibility with other extracts matters: this concentrate can be combined with Kiwi CO2 Extract to enhance regenerating properties of the formula, as well as with Black Aronia CO2 Extract, which adds extra antioxidant potential to the composition. For test batches and lab trials before scaling up production, it is convenient to use the smaller pack — Chia CO2 Extract 5 g, allowing formulators to fine-tune a recipe without committing large amounts of raw material.
The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct heat sources and sunlight, to maintain fatty acid stability throughout the entire shelf life. The 1 kg pack suits medium and large production batches where predictable supply and batch-to-batch consistency of the raw material are essential.

Melt
the shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax together in a water bath at around
65-70 degrees Celsius until fully liquid, then remove from heat and let the
mixture cool to about 40 degrees. Stir in the chia extract, vitamin E and
essential oil blend until evenly combined, then whip the mixture until it
reaches a light, fluffy texture and transfer it into clean jars for packaging.
