Five new CO₂ extracts have been added to the range, several of them in organic quality. These are concentrated plant extracts for cosmetics, balms, oil serums, soaps and aromatic formulations — everywhere where the plant component is meant to bring more than just a nice name in the INCI list. Let’s take a look at what CO₂ extraction is, what is the difference between total and selective extract and where each of the new products has its place in a formulation.
Five new CO₂ extracts, several of them in organic quality.
Oil-soluble total extracts, selective aromatic extracts and also a vanilla extract with 26% vanillin.
Concentrated plant extract without solvent residues — fragrance, colour, naturally occurring active substances and a more pronounced sensorial character.
Our range has been expanded with five new CO₂ extracts, several of them in organic quality. Among them you will find oil-soluble total extracts, selective aromatic extracts and a new vanilla extract with a high vanillin content.
They are intended for formulations in which the plant component is meant to bring more than just a nice name in the INCI list. Depending on the type of extract, they can provide the formulation with fragrance, colour, naturally present active substances, a more nourishing oil profile or a more pronounced sensorial character.
You can use them in cosmetics, balms, oil serums, soaps and aromatic products – everywhere you want to work with a concentrated plant extract without solvent residues and at the same time give the formulation a clearer functional and sensorial direction. You will find all new products in the category CO₂ extracts.
CO₂ extraction uses carbon dioxide as the extraction medium. After the process is finished, the CO₂ evaporates from the extract, so there are no residues of common organic solvents left in the final raw material.
The result is concentrated plant extracts that can capture aromatic, lipophilic and other valuable plant components depending on the type of extraction. The difference between total and selective extract is therefore crucial for what you expect from the raw material in the formulation.
It captures a broader spectrum of the plant’s oil-soluble components. It can contain, for example, plant waxes, fatty acids, colorants, antioxidants and aromatic components. It is suitable where the extract should also provide an oil profile and active lipophilic substances, not only fragrance.
It is focused mainly on volatile aromatic and oil-soluble substances. In character it is often similar to an essential oil, but it can act more gently, rounder and more stable. Suitable everywhere where fragrance and sensorial impression are in the foreground.
After extraction, the CO₂ simply evaporates. Thus, no residues of common organic solvents remain in the final raw material — only the concentrated profile of the plant itself remains.
The five new products cover various needs — from a delicate coconut fragrance through antioxidant-oriented turmeric and nourishing raspberry oil to spicy Ceylon cinnamon and the most intense vanilla in our assortment. For each extract you will find where it belongs in the formulation and what to watch out for.
Selective aromatic extract with a typical coconut fragrance. A good choice where coconut should act soft, warm and natural, not heavy and synthetic.
Typical use: body oils, balms, massage blends, soaps, perfuming compositions.
Total extract with a natural content of curcuminoids. Interesting for formulations with an antioxidant-oriented botanical profile and for products for dull or tired skin.
Typical use: oil serums, balms, masks.
Practical note: turmeric stains intensely, therefore we recommend starting with low dosage and always testing the final shade of the product.
Suitable as a part of the oil phase in facial serums, creams, balms and more nourishing formulations. In a formulation it supports a botanical, regenerating and anti-age character — suitable where the oil phase should be more sophisticated and more active.
Typical use: facial serums, creams, balms, nourishing formulations.
Selective aromatic extract with a warm, spicy and intense character. It is used in very low concentrations.
Typical use: aromatic blends, balms, massage products, soaps, warming formulations.
Beware of allergens: for finished products monitor the labelling of allergens, especially cinnamal, if its content exceeds legislative limits.
The most intense vanilla extract in our range — it contains up to 26% vanillin. It has a deep, darker and concentrated vanilla character. Suitable where vanilla in the final product should be clearly recognisable, warm and pronounced.
Typical use: balms, body butters, creams, oil perfuming blends, more luxurious formulations.
CO₂ extracts are concentrated raw materials, therefore it is worth starting low with them and adjusting the dosage according to the type of formulation, the required intensity and the recommendation for the specific product.
When formulating, think in particular of these practical points:
The new CO₂ extracts will be appreciated by everyone who wants to bring more botanical character into formulations, a more natural aromatic component or a more concentrated profile of active lipophilic substances.
They are suitable for balms, oil serums, creams, soaps, massage products and aromatically oriented formulations where every component should have a clear purpose and a visible benefit.
Practical questions about the new extracts — the difference between types, solvent residues, dosage, colouring and storage.
CO₂-to (total) captures a broader spectrum of oil-soluble components — plant waxes, fatty acids, colorants, antioxidants and aromatic substances. CO₂-se (selective) is focused mainly on volatile aromatic and oil-soluble substances, in character it is similar to an essential oil, but often acts more gently and more stably.
The extraction medium is carbon dioxide. After the process is finished, the CO₂ evaporates from the extract, so there are no residues of common organic solvents left in the final raw material — a concentrated plant profile remains.
These are concentrated raw materials, therefore it is worth starting low and adjusting the dosage according to the type of formulation and the required intensity. Add oil-soluble extracts to the oil phase, dose aromatic ones carefully. You will always find the exact recommended dosage in the detail of the specific product.
Total extracts can contain natural colorants of the plant. Turmeric colours particularly intensely, the vanilla extract also has a more pronounced shade. Therefore, first test colouring extracts in a small batch and monitor the final shade of the finished product.
The selective extract from Ceylon cinnamon bark is used in very low concentrations. For finished products it is necessary to monitor the labelling of allergens, especially cinnamal, if its content exceeds legislative limits.
Store them well closed, in a cool place and away from direct light. In this way you protect their aromatic and functional profile throughout their shelf life.
The new CO₂ extracts are already available on the website together with basic information on use and recommended dosage for individual products.
Choose according to what you want to support in the formulation – fragrance, colour, oil profile, antioxidant character or a more pronounced botanical detail.
Five new extracts for balms, oil serums, creams, soaps and aromatic formulations. Choose the one that will give your formulation exactly the direction you need.
