Fucus CO2 Extract 5 g

Brown Algae Concentrate That Powers Firming and Detox Formulas

Fucus CO2 Extract is produced through carbon dioxide extraction of brown algae, a gentle method that preserves a rich complex of naturally occurring active compounds without leaving solvent residues behind. This 5 g package is well suited for home cosmetic making and small trial batches, giving formulators a way to test the ingredient before committing to larger volumes. The product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrated botanical extracts prized for their high content of active substances obtained without heat processing.

Fucus algae has long been used in body care formulations aimed at firming and toning the skin, and it remains a staple ingredient in anti-cellulite creams, gels and body wraps. Its natural mineral and polysaccharide content makes the extract popular in treatments for tired, sluggish-looking skin, in hair masks addressing thinning and hair loss, and throughout the spa industry, where marine extracts form the backbone of professional wraps and thalassotherapy treatments. Beyond cosmetics, algae extracts also attract attention from manufacturers of functional supplements and weight management products, thanks to naturally occurring iodine and trace elements.

Typical usage rates for Fucus CO2 Extract range from 0.5 to 3 g per 100 g of finished formula, depending on the desired intensity. It should be added at the final stage of emulsion preparation, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees, to protect heat-sensitive compounds. The extract pairs well with other marine and botanical concentrates: it is frequently combined with CO2 Kelp Extract to boost the detoxifying effect of body wraps, while formulas targeting hair loss often pair it with Nettle CO2 extract, known for its action on hair follicles. In leg care formulas aimed at strengthening blood vessels and reducing puffiness, Fucus extract is commonly complemented with Chestnut CO2 Extract, a traditional component of formulas for tired legs.

The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which helps preserve the activity of valuable compounds throughout its shelf life. The small package size makes it convenient for test batches and recipe development ahead of scaling up production.
