Sage CO2 Extract 5 g

Concentrated Sage Extract for Skincare and Fragrance Formulations

Sage CO2 Extract in a 5 gram package is a concentrated botanical extract obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, a method that avoids solvents and high processing temperatures. This gentle technology preserves a rich profile of naturally occurring active compounds, including volatile aromatic components, tannins, and antioxidants found in the sage plant. The product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together plant-based concentrates used across cosmetic, fragrance, and food formulations worldwide. The compact 5 gram size is particularly suitable for home-based cosmetic formulation, small trial batches, and testing new formulas before scaling up production.

Sage CO2 extract is widely used in skincare formulations targeting oily and blemish-prone skin, thanks to its ability to help balance sebum production and give the complexion a more matte appearance. It is commonly incorporated into toners, serums, facial creams, and aftershave products. In the fragrance industry, sage contributes a herbaceous, slightly spicy note that is frequently used in masculine colognes and eau de toilette compositions. The food and flavoring sectors also rely on small doses of sage extract to introduce an authentic herbal character, while oral care manufacturers value its refreshing sensory profile in mouth rinses and toothpaste formulations.

Recommended usage levels typically range from 0.1 to 1 percent of the total formula weight, with concentrations up to 2 percent acceptable in more intensive products. The extract should be added during the cooling phase of production, once the base mixture has dropped to approximately 35-40 degrees Celsius, in order to protect the volatile active compounds from heat degradation. It blends well with carrier oils, essential oils, plant-based waxes, and other CO2 concentrates. For example, combining it with Carrot CO2 Extract introduces nourishing carotenoids into the formula, while pairing it with Artichoke CO2 Extract adds recognized skin-toning properties.

Given the high concentration of active compounds, formulators should avoid exceeding recommended dosages, particularly in products intended for sensitive skin types. A small-scale patch test is advisable before finalizing any new formula. The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, kept in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which helps maintain its properties throughout the stated shelf life. Once opened, it is best used within a reasonable timeframe to minimize prolonged air exposure.

When combined with other botanical concentrates such as Rosehip CO2 Extract, sage extract supports the development of restorative, toning formulations suited to facial and body care lines, a combination frequently favored in anti-aging product development.
