A Concentrated Rosehip Extract Built for Regular Batch Production
CO2 extraction pulls a dense, oil-soluble concentrate from rosehip fruit, preserving carotenoids, tocopherols and polyunsaturated fatty acids in a form largely untouched by heat degradation. This is exactly why formulators tend to rate it above conventional macerated oils - the process runs at low temperature without solvents, yielding a more stable and potent material batch after batch. The 100 g pack size is aimed less at one-off testing and more at studio-scale and small industrial production runs, where consistent supply and reproducible formulas matter. This item belongs to the CO2 Extracts range, which brings together concentrated plant extracts used across cosmetic, pharmaceutical and fragrance manufacturing.
The main application of rosehip CO2 extract is skin care: anti-aging serums, night creams, eye contour products, emulsions designed for dry or mature skin, and after-sun or post-procedure recovery formulas used in professional skin treatments. Its high carotenoid content also makes it a common choice in tanning oils and after-sun care, where a natural tone and antioxidant support are both valued. In pharmaceutical-adjacent production it appears in balms and ointments for compromised skin, while perfumers sometimes use it as a subtle base note contributing a woody-fruity facet. Typical dosage runs between 0.5 and 3 percent of the finished formula, added during the oil phase at temperatures no higher than 40-45 degrees Celsius to protect the heat-sensitive compounds; pushing the dose higher rarely improves performance and instead affects texture and tone.
This extract blends easily with other CO2 concentrates, letting manufacturers stack several plant actives into one formula. For toning and sebum-balancing blends it is often paired with CO2 Extract of Green Coffee, which contributes antioxidant and lymphatic-support properties. In warming compositions for anti-cellulite care or circulation-stimulating balms, rosehip extract works well alongside Red Pepper CO2 Extract, provided the pepper extract dosage stays carefully controlled. For calming formulas intended for sensitive or irritated skin, combining it with Sage CO2 Extract adds an anti-inflammatory dimension to the regenerating effect.
Store the extract in a tightly sealed container, away from direct light and heat sources, since its fatty acids and carotenoids are prone to oxidation over time. Once opened, it is best used within the shelf life stated on the label, keeping air exposure to a minimum. For larger production batches it also pays to control transport conditions, avoiding overheating of containers during warmer months.
