St. John's wort CO2 extract 1 kg

Bulk St. John's Wort CO2 Extract for Industrial Skincare and Herbal Manufacturing

St. John's wort CO2 extract supplied in a 1 kg package is designed for manufacturers who need consistent volumes of concentrate for continuous production runs. It is obtained through low-temperature carbon dioxide extraction, a method that preserves the maximum amount of active compounds found in the plant - hypericin, hyperforin, flavonoids and tannins - giving this extract its reputation as one of the most effective ingredients for problematic and oily skin formulations. This raw material belongs to the CO2 Extracts section, which brings together highly concentrated botanical extracts for diverse industrial applications.

The primary use of St. John's wort CO2 extract lies in manufacturing products for oily and blemish-prone skin, anti-inflammatory formulations, and calming creams or serums. In pharmaceutical production the extract serves as a component of topical ointments and gels. In the food industry small quantities are incorporated into herbal blends, tonics and functional beverages as a source of natural phytonutrients. It also finds application in dietary supplement manufacturing and in veterinary care formulations.

The recommended dosage ranges from 0.1 to 1 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the product type and desired intensity of action. The extract should be introduced at the final stage of production, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees, to preserve heat-sensitive active compounds. St. John's wort pairs well with other botanical concentrates: for instance, with Chamomile CO2 Extract, which reinforces the soothing effect of the formula, and with Artichoke CO2 Extract for comprehensive detox blends. For gentle formulations intended for sensitive skin, manufacturers often complement the recipe with Complex CO2 extract for baby skin, achieving balanced action without irritation.

It is worth noting that St. John's wort has photosensitizing properties, so products containing this extract are usually recommended for evening use or should include UV filters in the formula. Store the raw material in a sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to maintain the stability of active compounds throughout the shelf life. The 1 kg package is convenient for facilities working with regular production batches and planning long-term supply schedules without frequent small purchases.
