CO2 Yarrow Leaf Extract 100 g

Working With Yarrow CO2 Extract in Skin-Calming Formulations

Yarrow CO2 extract is produced through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction under pressure, a method that preserves a wide range of the plant's natural compounds without thermal degradation and without leaving solvent residues behind. The 100 g package size is intended for laboratories, small production lines and formulation studios that need a reliable stock of raw material for recurring batch production rather than a one-time trial. This extract belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, where concentrates obtained through the same gentle technology are grouped together and share similar handling requirements.

The most widespread use of yarrow CO2 extract is in formulations aimed at sensitive, irritated or redness-prone skin. The flavonoids and azulene-related compounds naturally present in this plant are valued in dermatological and cosmeceutical practice for their calming action on the epidermis, which is why the extract frequently appears in after-shave products, lotions for problematic skin, infant care lines and scalp treatments for sensitive skin. In the pharmaceutical and parapharmaceutical sector, similar concentrates are used when developing topical ointments, gels and balms. The extract also finds use in intimate hygiene products, anti-cellulite programs and foot care lines, where mild tissue toning is required.

Yarrow CO2 concentrate should be added only during the cold phase of an emulsion, once the base has cooled to around 35-40 degrees Celsius, since its active compounds are sensitive to prolonged heat exposure. Recommended dosage in the finished product ranges from 0.3 to 1.5 percent depending on the formulation type: lower concentrations work well in creams and serums, while spot balms and concentrated serums typically require levels closer to the upper limit. The extract dissolves readily in the oil phase and in liposomal delivery systems, making it easy to combine with plant oils and waxes during emulsifier preparation.

In the fragrance industry, yarrow concentrate is appreciated for its herbaceous, slightly spicy character, which contributes a natural green note to compositions, particularly within masculine and unisex fragrance lines. When building multi-component CO2 blends, yarrow is often paired with other concentrates from the same category: Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract reinforces the regenerative direction of a formula and complements the soothing effect of yarrow in products designed for skin recovery after aggressive procedures. Lavender CO2 Extract adds a relaxing aromatic profile and works synergistically in calming serums and sleep-support products. For flavor and food applications, yarrow is sometimes combined with Cumin CO2 Extract, forming spicy flavor compositions for functional beverages and dietary supplements.

The extract should be stored in tightly closed original packaging, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which helps preserve compound activity throughout the stated shelf life. Once opened, contact with air should be minimized, and transferring the remaining concentrate into a smaller container as it is used up is recommended to reduce oxidation.
