Nettle CO2 extract 1 kg

Industrial-Grade Nettle CO2 Extract for Hair and Scalp Care Formulations

The 1 kg pack of nettle CO2 extract belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together botanical concentrates obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction without the use of chemical solvents. This gentle extraction method preserves the maximum amount of natural active compounds found in nettle, including chlorophyll, flavonoids, carotenoids and vitamin K. The 1 kg size is designed for manufacturing facilities that require a steady, uninterrupted supply of raw material for large-scale batch production and consistent formulation results.

The primary demand for nettle CO2 extract comes from the hair and scalp care segment: anti-hair-loss shampoos, strengthening conditioners, growth-stimulating serums and scalp tonics all rely on this ingredient for its ability to balance sebum production and improve overall hair condition. It is also a common component in creams and lotions for blemish-prone, irritation-sensitive skin, as well as in anti-aging skincare lines thanks to its antioxidant profile. A significant secondary market lies in the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industry, where nettle is valued for supporting vascular tone and general wellbeing, making it a familiar ingredient beyond cosmetics alone.

In formulations, nettle CO2 extract pairs well with other botanical concentrates, such as CO2 Aloe Vera Extract for enhanced soothing and hydration, Black Aronia CO2 Extract for antioxidant-rich blends, and Bidens CO2 Extract for formulas targeting sensitive or reactive skin. These combinations are frequently used in production lines for sensitive skin ranges and gentle personal care products.

A typical usage rate ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired concentration of active compounds and the product type. The extract should be added during the cooling phase, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to prevent degradation of heat-sensitive constituents. Store the raw material in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to maintain its stability throughout the declared shelf life.

Thanks to the 1 kg format, this extract suits quality control laboratories as well as full-scale production lines where predictable batch-to-batch performance is essential when scaling up formulations for continuous manufacturing.
