Product description

Essences obtained by CO2 extraction are some of the purest essences with a higher proportion of individual chemical components than those found in essential oils obtained by steam distillation, as they do not contain residual solvents, inorganic salts, heavy metals or bacteria capable of reproduction. Their use is the same as for essential oils, but in a much smaller proportion, as CO2 extract is stronger, of higher quality and has a significantly longer shelf life. In fact, the plant extracts do not undergo thermal degradation in this extraction process, as is the case in the steam distillation process.

Depending on the pressure, CO2 extraction makes it possible to create two types of extracts, the so-called Selects and Totals.

Our CO2 extracts are total extracts from the plant (obtained by high pressure extraction), thus containing all CO2 soluble components, including waxes, resins, dyes. They are therefore very similar to the plant itself, usually thick and pasty just because of the waxes, fats and resins contained, which come from the plant material itself.

Rosemary extract is standardized with organic sunflower oil.

Ingredients:

12-16% antioxidant compounds:
< 4% volatile fragrance compounds
< 1% water
< 2 ethanol
sunflower oil, waxes

Uses:
Rosemary extract has antioxidant, antibacterial (broad spectrum activity against 28 bacteria) and anti-inflammatory properties. It slows down the oxidation of fatty oils, carotenoids and essential oils. It also has anti-aging properties.

Dosage:
0.05-0.1% for saturated fats
0,2-0,4% for polyunsaturated oils

All raw materials supplied are of cosmetic quality, not suitable for internal use.
