Why CO2 Extracts?
CO2 extracts exhibit some of the characteristics of essential oils. Like essential oils, they contain many beneficial therapeutic properties. They are extracted with CO2 gas (carbon dioxide) under pressure at ambient temperature. Under normal atmospheric conditions, CO2 is a gas, but when highly compressed, it becomes supercritical - neither a gas nor a liquid.
Sustainability
Supercritical CO2 is an excellent organic solvent used to extract essential oils from plants. Highly volatile top notes are not lost, and base notes of less volatile and sensitive oxygenated sesquiterpenes are also fully retained. Hydrolysis of monoterpene esters or the loss of monoterpene alcohols in heart notes is also largely avoided during extraction.
Another impressive advantage of CO2 extraction is that once the oil is extracted from the plant material, the supercritical CO2 is returned to its gaseous state at normal air pressure, disappearing quickly and completely and without generating toxic waste! A highly sustainable and environmentally friendly method of extraction. That many of the CO2 extracts have a significantly more pleasant smell than the distilled variety is an added bonus.
Major advantages of CO2 extracts in brief:
- CO2 extracts are obtained at lower temperatures (up to 40ËšC/104ËšF) than steam distillation
- Carbon dioxide, which serves as a solvent, is non-toxic, odourless and can be easily removed from the extracted oil at the end of the process and reused
- CO2 extracts have greater stability and long shelf life than essential oils
- Contain no carbohydrates, inorganic salts, proteins/allergens, or germs
- Meet strict requirements for heavy metals
- Odour is generally similar to that of the fresh plant
- The procurement process is sustainable and environmentally friendly
"100% natural, highly concentrated and effective even in low doses."
Using CO2 Extracts
CO2 extracts are stable and versatile. Due to the number of constituents with highly beneficial properties not found in essential oils, CO2 extracts are often used in body care products, supplements and, of course, aromatherapy.
