CO₂ Mint Extract for Cosmetics Pharmaceuticals Food and Aromatherapy
CO₂ mint extract is obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from the leaves of Mentha arvensis or Mentha piperita. This modern solvent-free method preserves the plant’s full spectrum of bioactive compounds—primarily menthol, menthone, limonene, and other volatile components. The result is a rich, concentrated oil with a powerful refreshing scent and broad therapeutic activity.
Thanks to its cooling, antiseptic, and soothing properties, CO₂ mint extract is widely used across the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, perfumery, personal care, wellness, household, and food industries. It is especially valued in modern clean-label formulations focused on efficacy and natural origin.
