Winter CO2 extract complex 5 g

Sourcing and specification details

Winter CO2 extract complex is a lipophilic blend of supercritical CO2 extracts from horse chestnut, sea buckthorn, train, Hypericum, rosehip, licorice root and vanilla produced in England. Supplied in transport packaging of 5 grams as an oily liquid ranging from amber to orange-brown with a herbal and mildly sweet aroma. CO2 Extracts deliver high concentration of lipophilic phytonutrients without residual solvents and preserve the natural character of the raw materials in concentrated form.

Technical properties for manufacturing processes

The material integrates into the oil phase of emulsions at 0.05-1 percent and remains stable under heating typical for oil-phase processing. It shows good compatibility with vegetable oils, waxes and antioxidant systems, supporting reproducible color and sensory profile at industrial scale. The oil phase becomes more structured and deeper in sensory feel, which is particularly relevant for seasonal formulas.

Applications across cosmetic and food sectors

Used in sprays, compresses, micellar water, gels, creams, massage gels, masks and wrinkle serums. Winter CO2 extract complex 100 g suits seasonal cosmetic lines and contract manufacturing. The product is purchased as a botanical raw material for dietary supplements and the food industry, including drinks, confectionery and functional foods; private formulators and factories worldwide source it in retail and wholesale quantities.

Example formulation for serum or balm

Combine 0.8 percent complex with 8 percent jojoba oil, 5 percent shea butter, 2 percent cetearyl alcohol and heat to melt. Separately hydrate 3 percent glycerin in purified water, emulsify phases, add preservative system and cool under stirring to obtain a stable serum base. This approach ensures even distribution and maintains the integrity of the lipid texture in the final product.

Solubility processing and compatibility

Soluble in base oils and polysorbate; introduced into the active oil phase. Supports both anhydrous balms and emulsified systems. Botanical Extracts of this type allow scaling of production without altering organoleptic characteristics across batches.

Storage conditions and shelf life

Store in a cool dark place in tightly closed container until October 2028.
