Saw Palmetto CO2 Extract 1 kg

A botanical concentrate behind many hair-loss and oily skin formulations

Saw palmetto CO2 extract is obtained from the fruit of Serenoa repens using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, a method that preserves fatty acids, phytosterols and other lipophilic compounds without heat damage or solvent residues. This purity and concentration of active compounds is exactly why the raw material is in demand across several industries at once: cosmetic manufacturing, nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical production. This item belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrated plant extracts for professional and industrial formulations.

Global demand for saw palmetto extract is built mainly around two directions. The first is the production of encapsulated nutraceutical blends and supplements supporting men's health, where the raw material is valued for its gentle influence on the hormonal balance affecting skin and hair follicles. The second direction is cosmetic manufacturing, where the extract is added to shampoos, lotions, serums and scalp sprays formulated against hair thinning, as well as into products for oily and blemish-prone skin. Its ability to moderate the activity of the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone makes it a popular ingredient in formulas aimed at strengthening hair follicles and slowing androgenic hair loss in both men and women.

Beyond hair care, the extract is widely used in oily facial skincare, after-shave preparations, and formulations for teenage and blemish-prone skin prone to inflammation and excess sebum. Its sebum-balancing properties make it a strong addition to mattifying creams, emulsions and toners. At the 1 kg industrial pack size, this raw material is intended for conveyor-line cosmetic manufacturing, contract production and stable recurring supply for laboratories and production facilities where a predictable, consistent batch of raw material matters most.

The recommended usage rate in finished formulations is between 1 and 5 percent of the total mass, with the exact percentage depending on the product's purpose and the concentration of active compounds in the final formula. It is best introduced at the final stage of production, into the oil or emulsion phase, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius, to avoid degrading heat-sensitive compounds. It pairs well with other lipophilic CO2 extracts, such as sea buckthorn CO2 extract, which reinforces the regenerating properties of a formula, and grape seed CO2 extract, which adds antioxidant support. For fragranced product lines, it is often combined with geranium CO2 extract, which softens the overall scent profile and adds a balancing effect for the skin.

Store the extract in a tightly sealed container, away from direct light and heat, ideally under refrigeration, which extends the shelf stability of the active compounds. Once the package is opened, minimize air exposure and consider using an inert atmosphere when decanting from the bulk kilogram container to prevent oxidative changes over time.
