CO2 Flax Extract 100 g

Flax CO2 Concentrate for Skin and Hair Care Formulations

This 100 gram flax CO2 extract is obtained through liquefied carbon dioxide extraction, a method that gently draws lipids, phytosterols and vitamin E from flax seeds without heat or chemical solvents. This process preserves a consistently high concentration of active compounds, which is why the extract is valued by manufacturers in cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food production for batch-to-batch stability. The 100 gram size is intended for studio and small-batch manufacturing, giving formulators enough raw material for regular production runs of creams, serums, masks and balms without frequent reordering. This product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrated natural extracts prized for high biological activity in formulations.

The primary application of flax CO2 concentrate is in skincare designed for dry, sensitive and mature skin types. The extract softens the skin, supports the lipid barrier and reduces the feeling of tightness, making it a common addition to night creams, body emulsions, after sun products and lip balms. In hair care, it appears in masks and leave in serums where it adds smoothness and helps reduce split ends. Typical dosage ranges from 1 to 5 percent of total formula weight, and it should be added at the final stage of production at a temperature below 40 degrees Celsius to protect the delicate lipids and active compounds from degradation. In emulsion manufacturing it can be blended into the oil phase together with base vegetable oils prior to the emulsification step.

Flax CO2 extract combines well with other concentrates from the same line to build multi-active complexes. Paired with CO2 Extract of Green Coffee, it creates an energizing blend for creams targeting tired skin and body products with a mild lifting effect. A small addition of Mint CO2 Extract allows formulators to build refreshing balms and eye contour products, while combining it with Hop CO2 Extract works well in anti aging serums and formulas designed for mature skin. Beyond cosmetics, flax concentrate is also used in the production of dietary supplements and encapsulated food products, where it is valued for its beneficial fatty acid content.

Store the extract in a tightly sealed container made of dark glass or opaque plastic, in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, at a temperature between 4 and 20 degrees Celsius, ideally refrigerated once opened. Proper storage extends shelf life and prevents oxidation of the lipid content. If the extract thickens at low storage temperature, warm the bottle gently in your hands before adding it to a formulation.

Restorative Night Cream with Flax CO2 Concentrate

Distilled water 60 g

Shea butter 8 g

Jojoba oil 6 g

Plant based emulsifier 5 g

Flax CO2 extract 3 g

Niacinamide 1 g

Broad spectrum preservative 1 g

Melt the shea butter and emulsifier together in a double boiler until smooth, add the jojoba oil and remove from heat. Separately warm the water to 45 degrees Celsius and slowly pour it into the oil phase while stirring continuously until a stable emulsion forms. Cool the mixture to 38 degrees Celsius, add the flax CO2 extract, niacinamide and preservative, mix thoroughly until fully uniform and transfer into a clean jar.
