Complex CO2 extract Citrus 1 kg

Why Citrus CO2 Complex Becomes a Staple for Bulk Cosmetic Manufacturing

The 1 kg format of this extract is designed for manufacturers running large-scale production lines who need a reliable, consistent supply of concentrated citrus active without frequent reorders of small packs. The Complex CO2 extract Citrus is obtained through carbon dioxide extraction from orange, grapefruit, lemon and mandarin peels, a method that preserves a high concentration of essential oils, flavonoids and natural acids without relying on chemical solvents. This product belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrates for various skincare and formulation needs, and the citrus complex stands out among them for its versatility across product types.

The primary application of this extract lies in skincare and anti-aging cosmetics: creams, serums, toners, and body emulsions, where it helps even out skin tone, brings a fresh feel to the formula, and acts as a natural antioxidant slowing down oxidative processes within the product. Beyond skincare, the extract is widely used in perfumery as a natural citrus note, in aromatherapy blends, and in bath and spa product lines. In the food industry, similar citrus CO2 extracts serve as natural flavoring agents, though this particular batch is formulated primarily with cosmetic and fragrance manufacturing in mind.

Recommended dosage in formulations typically ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of total product weight, depending on desired fragrance intensity and activity level. The extract should be added at the final stage of production, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to prevent degradation of volatile aromatic compounds and heat-sensitive constituents. It blends well with carrier oils, hydrolates, panthenol and other CO2 concentrates — for instance, it is frequently paired with the CO2 Extract Complex for Skin Brightening in formulas targeting uneven tone and pigmentation. For small trial batches or formula testing, the Complex CO2 Extract Citrus 5 g is a more convenient option, and for compositions aimed at soothing skin after thermal exposure, the Complex CO2 Extract for Burns is worth considering.

Store the product in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which helps preserve the extract's activity throughout its shelf life. When working with the 1 kg format, close the lid firmly after each use to minimize air and moisture exposure, and for easier dosing on the production line it is advisable to transfer a working portion into a smaller separate container.
