Carrot CO2 extract BIO (in jojoba) 5 g

Why Carrot CO2 in Jojoba Deserves a Place in Your Skincare Formulas

Carrot CO2 extract BIO in jojoba is a concentrated extraction from carrot root obtained through liquefied carbon dioxide technology and dissolved in jojoba oil for easier dosing. This extraction method preserves carotenoids, tocopherols and other bioactive compounds far better than conventional maceration or pressing, where heat exposure often degrades sensitive molecules. The 5 gram size suits home cosmetic making and small trial batches, allowing formulators to test the concentrate in a recipe before scaling to larger production. This product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together plant-based concentrates widely used across cosmetic, fragrance and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The main application of carrot CO2 lies in facial and body skincare: creams, serums, emulsions and balms designed for mature or tired-looking skin. Carotenoids from carrot are valued for giving skin a healthy glow and supporting natural renewal processes, which is why the extract frequently appears in anti-aging lines and after-sun recovery products. It is also used in tanning and after-sun formulations, since carotenoids are structurally related to melanin and can enhance the skin's natural tone. In color cosmetics, the extract goes into bronzers, self-tanners and tinted lip balms - even a small amount gives the product a warm amber tint without relying on synthetic pigments. The recommended dosage ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of the total formula weight, and it should be added during the cooling phase of an emulsion, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to protect carotenoid activity.

Carrot extract pairs well with other CO2 concentrates: for instance, with CO2 extract Arnica BIO in formulations meant for post-workout recovery and massage products, and with Rosemary CO2 Extract BIO, which adds extra stability through natural antioxidants along with a toning effect. For products with a pronounced astringent action, such as after-shave formulas or blends for blemish-prone skin, carrot concentrate is combined with Oak CO2 Extract (bark), resulting in a multifunctional formula with antioxidant and toning support.

Beyond skincare, carrot CO2 extract also finds use in perfume compositions as a natural note that lends warm, slightly sweet undertones, and in tanning product manufacturing where it enhances the visual bronzing effect within sun care lines. Similar carotenoid concentrates are used in the food industry as natural colorants and additives, though this particular packaging is intended for cosmetic production and requires proper storage: keep the bottle refrigerated or in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed, away from direct light and heat sources, with a recommended shelf life of 6 to 12 months after opening when stored correctly.
