What makes kiwi CO2 concentrate valuable in skin care formulas
Supercritical CO2 extraction pulls a rich concentrate from kiwi seeds and pulp while preserving natural fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants without solvent residue or heat damage. This extraction method is valued across formulation industries for consistent batch quality, which is why the product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category gathering concentrated botanical extracts for professional use. The 5 gram size suits home formulators and small trial batches when testing a raw material before scaling up a larger purchase.
The primary application of kiwi extract lies in skin and body care: serums, creams, emulsions, lip balms and eye area products. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids that soften and nourish skin, along with natural antioxidants that slow oxidation within the finished formula. Its light texture allows fast absorption without a greasy film, making it a convenient addition to both day and night formulations. Beyond cosmetics, similar CO2 concentrates are used in fragrance compositions as a source of a natural fruity note, and in flavored food supplement production where a concentrated natural extract free of synthetic residues is required.
Recommended dosage ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of the total formula weight, depending on product type and desired intensity. The extract should be added during the cooling stage of an emulsion, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to preserve active compounds. Kiwi extract pairs well with other CO2 concentrates, such as Garcinia CO2 extract, which adds toning properties, and Chia CO2 Extract, rich in omega fatty acids for extra nourishment. For studio scale production or larger recurring batches, the Kiwi CO2 Extract 10g option reduces the frequency of reordering.
Store the extract in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in a cool dark place to prevent premature lipid oxidation. Once opened, use within a reasonable timeframe and minimize air exposure.
