CO2 Flax Extract 1 kg

Bulk Flax CO2 Extract for Consistent Omega-Rich Formulations

Flax CO2 extract is produced through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of flaxseed, a process that preserves the full range of fatty acids, phytosterols, lignans and tocopherols without the thermal degradation typical of conventional pressing. The 1 kg package is intended for manufacturing facilities in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors that need a reliable volume of raw material for regular production runs of creams, serums or balms. As part of the CO2 Extracts category, flax extract stands out for its rich omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid profile, making it valuable not only for skincare and haircare but also for the food industry and dietary supplement production.

The primary application of this extract lies in formulating products that restore the skin's lipid barrier: body and face creams, emulsions, balms, and products designed for dry or irritation-prone skin. The fatty acids and phytosterols in flax help retain moisture in the stratum corneum, while lignans provide additional antioxidant protection against oxidation during storage. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing, the extract is used in capsules and oil solutions where a concentrated omega profile without residual solvents is essential. In the food sector, the product is applied in developing functional oils and supplements marketed for their polyunsaturated fatty acid content.

During production, the extract is introduced into the oil phase of a formulation at temperatures not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius to prevent breakdown of heat-sensitive compounds. Recommended dosage in cosmetic emulsions and creams ranges from 1 to 5 percent of total mass, while serum and concentrated formulas may go up to 8-10 percent depending on the desired texture. The extract pairs well with other products from the CO2 extract line: complex antioxidant serums often combine it with Sage CO2 Extract to enhance regenerative properties, while formulations aimed at strengthening hair frequently pair it with Birch CO2 Extract. For sensitive skin formulas requiring additional soothing action, flax extract is combined with Chestnut CO2 Extract, resulting in a multifunctional care product.

For large-scale manufacturing, raw material stability matters: the extract should be stored in sealed containers, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which prevents fatty acid oxidation and extends the usable shelf life across technological batches. Before incorporating large volumes into a formulation, it is advisable to pre-homogenize the extract with mild warming to ensure even distribution throughout the product mass. The concentrated composition of the kilogram package allows technologists to accurately calculate batch costs and minimize formulation deviation between production runs, a factor especially important for continuous-line cosmetic and food supplement manufacturing.
