Complex of CO2 extracts Moisturizing and nourishing 1 kg

Building stable moisturizing formulas for large-scale cosmetic production

The Complex of CO2 extracts Moisturizing and nourishing in a 1 kg package is designed for manufacturers who operate at scale and require a reliable supply of concentrated active ingredients for continuous production runs. Rather than a single extract, this is a balanced blend of several plant-derived CO2 extractions selected specifically for their hydrating and nourishing action on skin. It belongs to the wider category of CO2 Extracts, concentrates obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction without solvents or high temperatures, a process that preserves the majority of bioactive compounds naturally present in the source plants.

The primary application of this complex lies in the manufacture of skincare products: face and body creams, serums, emulsions, balms, after-shower oils, masks and eye contour treatments. Its combined composition works on two fronts simultaneously, helping the skin retain moisture in the upper layers while supporting restoration of the lipid barrier, which makes it particularly valuable in formulations targeting dry, dehydrated and mature skin. Beyond skincare, similar concentrates are used in lip balm production, intensive hand cream formulas, and occasionally in pharmaceutical-adjacent products where a natural lipid-rich ingredient is required.

Recommended dosage in finished formulas ranges from 1 to 5 percent of total product weight, depending on the desired intensity and formula type. The concentrate should be introduced at the final stage of emulsion preparation, during the cooling phase, at approximately 40-45 degrees Celsius, which prevents degradation of heat-sensitive compounds and preserves the extracts' beneficial properties. For anhydrous products such as balms or solid oils, the complex can be added right after removing the base from the water bath, just before the setting stage.

This complex combines well with other concentrates from the CO2 extracts line, giving manufacturers flexibility to tailor blends to specific goals. For anti-aging lines it is frequently paired with Plant-Based CO2 Retinol, which reinforces skin renewal effects. For products aimed at sensitive or irritated skin, adding Mother and Stepmother CO2 Extract, known for its soothing properties, makes practical sense. And for formulas focused on texture improvement and skin smoothing, combining it with CO2 Grain Mix, rich in natural phytosterols and grain-derived micronutrients, delivers good results.

Working with the 1 kg package allows manufacturers to plan larger production batches without the risk of running short on raw material mid-cycle, which matters a great deal on conveyor lines where any stoppage due to ingredient shortage translates directly into equipment downtime and financial loss. Purchasing at this volume also typically reduces the cost per unit of weight, lowering overall production costs while maintaining the intended formula quality.

The complex should be stored in a tightly sealed container, kept away from direct sunlight in a cool location at temperatures not exceeding room temperature, away from heat sources and open flame. Once opened, it is best used within the shelf life indicated on the label, minimizing air exposure to prevent oxidation of the lipid fractions. If the product has thickened during cool storage, gently warming the container in a water bath before use will make dosing and even distribution into the base much easier.

Intensive nourishing facial serum

Distilled water 55 g

Hyaluronic acid gel base 20 g

Natural emulsifier 5 g

Jojoba oil 6 g

Complex of CO2 extracts Moisturizing and nourishing 4 g

Broad spectrum preservative 5 g

Panthenol 5 g

Combine the water phase with the hyaluronic gel base and panthenol, then separately warm the emulsifier and jojoba oil to around 70 degrees. Blend the two phases together while stirring continuously until a smooth emulsion forms, then cool the mixture to 40-45 degrees before adding the CO2 extract complex and preservative. Mix thoroughly for several minutes until fully homogeneous, then transfer the finished serum into airless pump bottles for storage and use.
