Violets CO2 Extract 5 g

Concentrated floral power of violet CO2 extract for professional formulations

Violet CO2 extract is produced through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of the flowers and leaves of the plant, a method that preserves the maximum amount of naturally occurring active compounds without solvents or heat exposure. This clean extraction process makes the raw material highly valued across the perfumery and cosmetic industries, where purity and concentration of active compounds matter most. This extract belongs to the wider CO2 Extracts category, which brings together natural concentrates for developing skincare, color cosmetics, perfumery and related formulations.

The most common use of violet extract lies in the production of creams, serums, toners and facial masks, where it helps soften the skin and lends the finished product a delicate natural scent. In perfumery, the extract serves as a natural alternative to synthetic violet-note compositions, often blended into eau de toilette, body creams and solid perfumes. Beyond cosmetics, the extract also finds a place in scented household chemical products and niche natural perfumery, where sourcing transparency is a priority for the brand.

Due to its high concentration, the recommended dosage is quite low, typically ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 percent of the total formula weight, which makes the 5 gram packaging well suited for home-based cosmetic making and trial batches, allowing a formulator to test the raw material across several recipes without a major investment. The extract should be added at the final cooling stage, at a temperature no higher than 40 degrees Celsius, to preserve its volatile aromatic compounds. It blends well with carrier oils, hydrosols, and other CO2 extracts, for instance with Green tea CO2 extract 5 g to boost antioxidant action in day creams, or with Oak CO2 Extract (bark) 5 g for astringent toning formulas.

For deeper, woody compositions, perfumers often pair the violet note with coniferous and earthy accents, in particular with Juniper CO2 Extract 5 g, achieving a layered fragrance with a deep base and a soft floral top note. This combination is popular in shaving creams, scented sachets and natural candle fragrancing. The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, to keep its active compounds stable throughout the shelf life.

When working with this extract, keep its high concentration in mind and always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the finished product more broadly. The small packaging size is well suited for artisans and small labs looking to introduce a new ingredient gradually, evaluating stability and consumer response before scaling up.
