Sparrow CO2 extract 5 g

A Botanical Concentrate Built for Skin-Brightening Formulations

Sparrow CO2 extract is obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from the root of a plant long valued in traditional skincare practices for uneven and pigmented complexions. This extraction method preserves a wide range of bioactive compounds without heat degradation or solvent residues, making it a suitable choice for formulas aimed at sensitive or mature skin. This item belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrated plant extracts used across professional cosmetics, personal care and select food applications.

The primary application of sparrow extract lies in skincare and cosmeceutical products aimed at evening out skin tone, addressing dark spots and post-acne marks, and providing antioxidant support against oxidative stress. It is typically incorporated into serums, creams, emulsions and masks at a dosage of 0.1 to 1 percent of the total formula weight, added during the final cooling stage at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius to avoid degrading its heat-sensitive compounds. Introducing it into a hot base reduces its effectiveness, so it should never be added to a heated mixture.

In color cosmetics, small amounts of sparrow extract find their way into foundation and concealer bases where tone-correcting performance matters. Formulators working in niche personal care lines also include it in after-shave products and hand treatments for its soothing and softening qualities. Its compatibility with other botanical extracts is particularly notable: sparrow extract pairs well with Parsley CO2 Extract, which reinforces its tone-evening effect, and with the warming, circulation-supporting Red Pepper CO2 Extract in massage and warming blends. For more complex aromatic and textural profiles, formulas can be rounded out with Cumin CO2 Extract, contributing a spicy note along with additional antioxidant benefit.

The 5 gram packaging is designed primarily for home-based cosmetic making and small test batches, allowing formulators to check concentration and compatibility with a base recipe before scaling up to larger production runs. Given its high potency, this small quantity is enough for dozens of trial batches of cream or serum. The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, kept in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations to maintain stability throughout its shelf life. Once opened, it is best used within the timeframe indicated by the manufacturer, minimizing unnecessary exposure to air.
