Sourcing and specification details
The CO2 extract blend of thyme herb, burdock root and horsetail herb is produced by supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide in Ukraine. CO2 Extracts section presents this 5 g pack of oily liquid intended for B2B buyers in supplements and cosmetics. No solvent residues remain after processing. The pack size suits small-scale testing by manufacturers before scaling to bulk quantities. Supercritical technology ensures maximum retention of natural compounds such as vitamins, flavonoids and phytosterols present in the source plants.
International buyers value the absence of chemical solvents and the consistent quality across batches. Botanical Extracts of this kind support both pilot runs and full-scale production in multiple industries.
Technical parameters for manufacturers
The material is fat-soluble and added in the final stage below 40 °C. Recommended input: 0,05-0,1 % in hair sprays, 0,1-0,4 % in conditioners, 0,6-1,5 % in serums. Shelf life extends to December 2028 when stored cool and dark in sealed containers. These guidelines help labs maintain product stability during formulation development. Compatibility with cationic conditioners and base oils allows flexible integration into diverse product lines.
Temperature control during incorporation prevents degradation of sensitive components. Precise dosing supports cost-efficient scaling from laboratory samples to commercial volumes.
Applications across industries
Cosmetic laboratories incorporate the concentrate into creams and masks. CO2 Extracts for Hair Strengthening 100 g is also sourced by supplement producers and food factories for functional beverages and confectionery as botanical raw material. Retail and wholesale buyers worldwide use it in drinks, sweets and dietary supplements. Food industry clients apply the extract within permitted levels to enhance flavor profiles in functional foods.
This supports creation of new product variants without major process changes. Labs frequently test combinations with other extracts to achieve targeted sensory attributes in natural lines.
Example formulation for a scalp tonic
Water phase 85 g, emulsifier 8 g, CO2 extract 0,7 g, argan oil 4 g, panthenol 1,5 g, tocopherol 0,8 g. Heat water and emulsifier to 40 °C, add oil and panthenol, cool, incorporate extract and tocopherol. Apply the finished tonic to damp hair, leave for 15-20 minutes and rinse. The recipe can be adjusted by varying the base or additional lipids.
Strict adherence to the temperature limit ensures preservation of active compounds throughout mixing. This approach yields a stable product with predictable performance characteristics.
Stability and handling guidelines
Keep away from light and heat. After opening use within reasonable time to maintain component activity. Proper storage conditions help retain the original sensory and functional characteristics until the indicated expiry date.
