Peppermint CO2 Extract, 1 kg

Peppermint CO2 Concentrate for Large-Scale Food, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Formulations

Peppermint CO2 extract in a 1 kg pack is designed for manufacturers who need a stable volume of raw material for continuous, high-volume production. It is a concentrated substance obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, which retains the full range of volatile and non-volatile active compounds of peppermint, including menthol responsible for the characteristic cooling effect. This item belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together plant concentrates used well beyond small-scale craft production.

The strongest global demand for peppermint CO2 extract comes from the food industry, where it is used in chewing gum, hard candy, toothpaste and mouthwash, beverages and confectionery, delivering a stable cooling flavor without sudden intensity shifts. The second major application area is pharmaceutical manufacturing, where the extract is used in rubs, inhalation blends, topical balms and ointments, providing the sense of freshness that these products are known for. In the cosmetic sector the extract is used in hair care products, toners, foot and body care lines, lip balms and color cosmetics with a cooling effect. Another significant field is household chemistry and fragrance production, where the peppermint note is used in air fresheners, cleaning formulas and functional fragrances.

The recommended dosage depends on the final product: cosmetic emulsions and creams typically use 0.1 to 1 percent, balms and rubs with a pronounced cooling effect go up to 2-3 percent, while food and pharmaceutical formulations usually stay within 0.05-0.3 percent, always confirmed by sensory testing of the finished product. The extract is added at the final stage of production, during the cooling phase, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees, to prevent the loss of volatile compounds and aroma intensity.

Peppermint CO2 extract pairs well with other plant concentrates and essential oils from citrus, coniferous and mint families, as well as with base oils and emulsifiers used in industrial formulations. In complex compositions it is often combined with Green Coffee CO2 Extract for toning and anti-cellulite lines, with CO2 Aloe Vera Extract to soften the cooling effect for sensitive skin formulas, and with Carrot CO2 Extract for nourishing and antioxidant compositions.

The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, protected from direct light and heat, at a temperature not exceeding room level, avoiding prolonged exposure to open air. When storage conditions are respected, the product retains stable properties throughout its full shelf life, which is important for planning large production batches.
