Product description

Arnica flower CO₂-to extract is a highly concentrated natural extract obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from the flowers of Arnica montana. This gentle process is carried out without the use of organic solvents and preserves the full spectrum of the plant’s active substances, including sesquiterpene lactones, triterpenoid esters (faradiol, arnidiol esters), a small amount of essential oils, resins and waxes.

The product is standardised with organic sunflower oil, which ensures a stable content of active substances and easier incorporation into cosmetic formulations. It has a dark brown colour and at room temperature it is liquid to viscous with a characteristic herbal odour.

Type of extraction: Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (CO₂)
Standardised content: 4 % sesquiterpene lactones
Carrier: Organic sunflower oil (approx. 70 %)
