Chamomile officinalis CO2 Extract 5 g

How Chamomile CO2 Extract Calms Reactive and Sensitive Skin

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction pulls out a highly concentrated complex of bioactive compounds from chamomile flowers without exposing them to high heat or harsh solvents that would otherwise damage delicate molecules. This is exactly why formulators value this method far more than conventional oil infusions or alcohol tinctures: the extract retains azulene and related compounds responsible for its soothing, skin-calming reputation. This compact 5 g package belongs to our CO2 Extracts collection and suits anyone who wants to trial the raw material in a home lab or small studio before committing to a larger production run.

The primary use of chamomile CO2 extract lies in skincare formulated for sensitive, redness-prone and reactive skin types: creams, serums, emulsions, after-shave balms, baby care products and delicate eye-area formulas. The extract is also popular in hair and scalp care, where it helps reduce irritation and itchiness in shampoos, tonics and scalp treatments. In the pharmaceutical and parapharmaceutical sectors, it is often included in creams designed for uncomfortable or reactive skin conditions, as well as in lip balms. Food industry applications remain less common, though interest is growing in functional beverages and herbal blends that reference chamomile's calming reputation.

From a formulation standpoint, chamomile CO2 extract should be added to the oil phase of an emulsion during the cooling stage, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius, to prevent thermal degradation of its active constituents. A typical usage rate ranges from 0.1 to 1 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired intensity and finished product type. The extract dissolves readily in oils and lipid bases, making it easy to pair with cold-pressed carrier oils and other CO2 extracts for a layered, complementary effect. It blends particularly well with Lavender CO2 Extract, which contributes an additional calming aromatic note, and with Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract, known for supporting the recovery of compromised skin. For scalp and hair strengthening formulas, chamomile is frequently combined with Burdock CO2 extract, a long-standing ingredient in trichology-focused blends.

Store the extract in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, ideally between 4 and 20 degrees Celsius, to keep its active compounds stable throughout the shelf life. Once opened, use the contents within a reasonable timeframe and limit exposure to air and moisture. Thanks to its small package size, this extract is well suited for trial batches, formula testing and fine-tuning concentrations before scaling up to larger production volumes.
