Chestnut CO2 Extract 1 kg

Why manufacturers turn to horse chestnut CO2 concentrate for circulation-support formulas

Chestnut CO2 Extract supplied in a 1 kg pack is built for manufacturers running continuous production lines rather than one-off batches, where consistent potency shipment after shipment matters most. The concentrate is obtained through carbon dioxide extraction of horse chestnut seeds, a method that preserves a dense profile of natural saponins and flavonoids without solvent residues or heat degradation, which is exactly why formulators rely on it for predictable performance across large-scale runs. This extract belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, a group of highly concentrated botanical actives widely used across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and functional food manufacturing.

The leading application of chestnut CO2 extract is in venotonic creams, leg-care gels, anti-puffiness treatments, and skincare products addressing visible capillaries and tired legs. Beyond cosmetics, the extract is used in pharmaceutical production for topical preparations and dietary supplements, as well as in functional beverages and tonic blends where its astringent, firming action is valued. In household chemical goods, the concentrate occasionally appears in foot-care products and compression gel formulas. A smaller but notable use is in solid cosmetic bases, including soap formulated specifically for anti-puffiness action.

Recommended dosage ranges from 0.1 to 1% in the finished formula, with the exact concentration depending on the target effect and product type - lighter care emulsions require the lower end, while concentrated gels and serums call for higher inclusion rates. The extract should be added during the cooling phase, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees, to prevent degradation of its active compounds. It pairs well with other CO2 concentrates: in complex formulas for problem skin it is often combined with Red Pepper CO2 Extract to boost microcirculation, or with Oak CO2 Extract (bark) for a tightening, astringent effect. In brightening and nourishing formulations the chestnut concentrate combines smoothly with Kiwi CO2 Extract.

Store the extract in a sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in a cool dark place, which keeps its activity stable throughout the shelf life. The 1 kg pack is intended for laboratories, production facilities, and companies with recurring purchase volumes that need a dependable raw material source for an ongoing manufacturing cycle rather than a trial batch.

Leg refreshing gel with menthol

Distilled water 720 ml

Xanthan gum 14 g

Chestnut CO2 Extract 9 g

Menthol crystals 2 g

Glycerin 45 ml

Preservative 9 ml

Peppermint fragrance oil 5 ml

Disperse the xanthan gum into room-temperature water until fully swollen, then gently warm the mixture to 35-40 degrees and blend in the glycerin. Once the mass cools below 40 degrees, add the chestnut extract, the pre-dissolved menthol crystals, and the preservative, mix thoroughly until uniform, then stir in the fragrance oil at the final stage and fill into containers.
