CO2 Yarrow Leaf Extract 5 g

Why Yarrow Leaf CO2 Extract Suits Calming Skincare Formulas

This concentrate is obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from the leaf of the plant, a method that preserves a broad range of natural active compounds such as chamazulene, flavonoids and tannin-like substances known for their calming and skin-soothing action. Because of this extraction technology the product belongs to the CO2 Extracts range, where concentrates offer high biological activity with minimal residue compared to classic oil or alcohol-based extracts.

The leading application of yarrow CO2 worldwide is skincare aimed at redness-prone, irritated and reactive skin. Formulators add it to facial creams and serums for sensitive skin, toners and lotions, after-shave and after-waxing products, as well as scalp care items such as shampoos, masks and anti-irritation serums for dandruff-prone scalps. Its ability to reduce local redness and soothe reactive skin also makes it valuable in the parapharmaceutical sector, where it appears in balms, gels and restorative external-use products for dry or flaky skin.

Recommended dosage in finished formulas ranges from about 0.1 to 1 percent of total mass. The best stage for adding the extract is the cooling phase of an emulsion, around 40-45 degrees Celsius, or directly into the oil phase for anhydrous blends. Exposing the extract to higher temperatures degrades part of its active compounds, so heating it beyond this range should be avoided.

Yarrow extract pairs well with other botanical CO2 concentrates, allowing formulators to build multi-component blends for targeted skin concerns. For hydrating and toning compositions it can be combined with CO2 Kelp Extract, for balancing oiliness and adding a herbal note with Geranium CO2 extract, and for boosting antioxidant and restorative properties with Rosehip CO2 Extract. Such combinations are frequently used in complex serums and creams designed for problematic or reactive skin types.

Store the extract in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place, preferably refrigerated, since exposure to air and light accelerates oxidation of its active components. The 5 g packaging suits home cosmetic making and small trial batches, giving enough material to test several formulas before committing to a larger purchase.
