Bulk Antioxidant Complex for Large-Scale Mature Skin Formulations
The 1 kg packaging is designed for manufacturers who run serial production batches of anti-age skincare and require consistent raw material quality from one production run to the next. This CO2 extract Complex for mature skin belongs to the assortment gathered under CO2 Extracts, featuring concentrates obtained through supercritical extraction without solvents or excessive heat exposure. This extraction method preserves the natural complex of lipids, phytosterols, carotenoids and plant-derived antioxidants in their native molecular form, unlike many conventional extraction techniques.
The primary application of this complex spans the development and manufacturing of creams, serums, emulsions and masks targeting mature and fatigued skin, where support for elasticity, reduction of visible fine lines and restoration of the lipid barrier are key goals. The product is widely used in industrial cosmetic laboratories, as well as in pharmaceutical and dermatological research facilities working on anti-age formulations. Beyond core skincare, the extract also finds use in spa product manufacturing, professional massage compositions and salon-grade treatment lines.
In formulations, the extract is introduced during the oil phase at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius, since higher heat can degrade some of the heat-sensitive active compounds. Recommended dosage for industrial batches ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of total formula weight depending on the target concentration and product type - intensive serums typically use the upper range, while everyday day creams work well with the lower end. The complex pairs well with vegetable oils, natural emulsifiers and other targeted CO2 concentrates. For combined anti-age formulas, technologists frequently pair the base complex with Complex CO2 for Skin Hydration, which enhances the restoration of the skin's moisture-retention capacity.
When a product line includes options for sensitive or reactive skin showing signs of aging, it is reasonable to incorporate CO2 complex for sensitive skin, which lowers irritation risk while preserving the nourishing effect. Brands producing a full care range, including products for mature scalp and hair, may also find Complex CO2 for Oily Hair useful for parallel formulations targeting the scalp within the same brand line.
The extract should be stored in an airtight container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which prevents oxidation of the lipid fraction and preserves compound activity throughout the stated shelf life. When working with the bulk 1 kg format, it is advisable to transfer smaller working portions into separate containers after opening, minimizing repeated exposure of the main volume to air.

Melt
the shea butter and cetyl alcohol together in a water bath at around 70 degrees
Celsius, then heat the water separately to the same temperature and combine
both phases while stirring continuously until a smooth emulsion forms. Allow
the mixture to cool to 40-45 degrees, then blend in the CO2 extract and
squalane oil, followed by the preservative, mixing thoroughly before packaging
the finished cream into jars.
