Chamomile CO2-to extract

Chamomile CO2-to extract is a total extract from the flowers of true chamomile , obtained by carbon dioxide extraction from dried flowers grown under controlled integrated farming. In a formulation it serves two purposes at once: it soothes the skin and at the same time brings the scent of chamomile to the product. Twenty to 33 kg of dried flowers are processed per kilogram of extract, and the extract contains no carriers or excipients. It is particularly suitable for products for sensitive, dry, atopic and children's skin, from face creams through body oils to balms and ointments. What the extract contains and how it works The core of the extract is the essential oil of chamomile at 10 to 20 %. It is dominated by alpha-bisabolol (20 to 45 %) and bisabolol oxides A and B (5 to 20 %), with chamazulene and its precursor matricine also monitored. Chamomile has long been used in cosmetics for its soothing and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. The extract has a greenish-brown to brown colour and a chamomile scent. It is liquid at approximately 40 °C , so it should be slightly warmed before weighing. It dissolves in oils and alcohol; it does not dissolve in water.
