Supporting mature skin firmness through concentrated CO2 botanical actives
CO2 extract for mature skin, packaged in a 5 g quantity, is produced through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, a method that avoids solvents and high heat while preserving the maximum concentration of natural bioactive compounds. The resulting concentrate is rich in antioxidants, unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols and natural regenerating substances that work together to support elasticity, nourishment and overall tone in skin showing signs of aging. This product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, a collection of concentrates formulated for a wide range of skincare goals, from brightening to strengthening capillary walls.
The primary application of this extract lies in anti-aging skincare manufacturing: facial creams, serums, emulsions, masks and neck treatments, along with hand creams and decollete formulas. It is widely used in professional cosmetology, spa treatments and small-batch production where formulas are frequently adjusted to address fatigue, loss of elasticity and early wrinkles. The compact 5 g packaging is particularly suited to home-based cosmetic making and formula testing, allowing manufacturers to evaluate compatibility with a base before committing to larger production runs.
The extract should be introduced at the final stage of formulation, once the main phase has cooled to no more than 40 degrees Celsius, in order to protect heat-sensitive active compounds. Recommended dosage typically ranges between 0.5 and 2 percent of the total product mass, with exact concentration determined experimentally depending on desired texture and intended use. It pairs well with carrier oils, peptide complexes, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, enhancing the combined effect on skin firmness and hydration.
For a more comprehensive anti-aging approach, formulators often turn to the CO2 extract Complex for mature skin, which extends the effect through additional botanical components, alongside the CO2 extract to combat the fragility of blood vessels, frequently combined in formulas targeting visible capillaries and redness common in aging skin. When pigmentation correction is also needed, the CO2 Extract Complex for Skin Brightening in a larger format suits studio-scale production well.
The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, kept away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, ideally refrigerated between 4 and 10 degrees Celsius to preserve the activity of its components over the full shelf life. If the product thickens during storage, gently warming the container in a water bath before use is recommended.
Beyond facial care, this extract also finds its way into body creams, eye area serums, post-depilation balms and occasionally into soap formulations positioned for mature skin, though this last use remains secondary compared to leave-on skincare applications.

Warm
the gel base gently in a water bath to around 37 degrees Celsius, then blend in
the almond oil and peptide complex until fully combined. Remove from heat and
allow the mixture to cool to 34 degrees, then add the CO2 extract and vitamin
E, stirring gently with a spatula for about two minutes until the concentrate
is smooth and uniform. Transfer the finished product into a small jar with a
tight lid and store in a cool place, applying a thin layer around the eye
contour morning and evening on clean skin.
