Cornflower CO2 Extract 1 kg

Bulk Cornflower CO2 Extract for Consistent Cosmetic Manufacturing

Cornflower CO2 Extract supplied in a 1 kg package is designed for manufacturers who need a dependable, large-scale supply of botanical concentrate rather than a trial batch. This volume suits cosmetic production lines, contract manufacturers, and laboratories working with recurring batches of creams, toners, and serums. The extract belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrates obtained through supercritical extraction without solvents, a process that preserves a broad range of naturally occurring active compounds from the source plant.

Cornflower has long been valued for its ability to soothe skin and reduce the visible signs of tired-looking eyes, which is why the extract is widely used in eye contour serums, gels, and creams, as well as toners formulated for sensitive or redness-prone skin. Beyond skincare and decorative cosmetics, this concentrate finds its place in fine fragrance work, contributing a soft, herbal-floral facet to perfume compositions, and in gentle facial cleansing formulas. In household product development, small amounts are occasionally added to mild gels and lotions where a plant-derived ingredient adds value to the formula.

In finished formulations, the extract is typically added during the cooling phase of the emulsion, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to protect its more delicate, heat-sensitive fractions. A common usage rate ranges from 0.2% to 1% of the total formula weight, depending on the product type and the desired intensity of active compounds. The extract blends well with other CO2 concentrates: it is frequently paired with Lavender CO2 Extract in facial formulas for an enhanced calming effect, or with Peppermint CO2 Extract for a light refreshing sensation. In antioxidant-focused blends, it pairs well with Pomegranate CO2 Extract, reinforcing the overall toning profile of the formula.

The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in a cool dark place to maintain its stability throughout the shelf life. When working with a bulk container, it is important to reseal the packaging firmly after each use, minimizing exposure to air and moisture, particularly in production runs carried out in stages.
