Lavender CO2 vs EO
Lavender CO2 possesses its own unique compound, Lavandulol, which is found in abundance in the lab analysis of CO2 extract but almost zilch in its essential oil. This probably explains why Lavender CO2 smells exactly like the fresh flowers! The colour of the extract is a champagne golden and thicker in consistency unlike its ethereal/essential oil counterpart which is watery and clear in liquid. The process of supercritical CO2 extraction uses liquid CO2 to extract the most out of each plant, therefore resulting in the best grade with no form of oxidation and heat degradation of the final product.
What is CO2 extract?
CO2 extracted oils are high quality oils extracted using carbon dioxide in liquid form, as the solvent for lipophilic plant ingredients. There are not any waste streams and emissions involved in this eco-friendly technology. When carbon dioxide is converted to liquid by using low temperatures and high pressure, it becomes a safe and effective solvent that allows all the desirable active constituents of the botanical to be collected without the risk of heat, light and air (oxygen) degradation. Once the extraction is complete, the carbon dioxide is allowed to return to its natural gaseous state, leaving behind only the extracted essence of the plant. CO2 extracted oils are the closest representation of the natural plant ever achieved. Highly concentrated and more complete than essential oils, these CO2 extracts can be used at low amount in carrier oils and other base products.

Lavandula angustifolia

Lavender is one of the most enduringly romantic and evocative scent in the world. It is a well-known folk remedy and its floral scent is still familiar to almost everyone. The oil and the flowers themselves have restorative properties; a pleasant nerve tonic against faintness/giddiness and vomiting, sprains and spasms, relieves headaches and neuralgia, sunstroke, hysteria, paralysis, weakness of limbs and swelling of limbs. Lavender is also known to have a powerful anti-venom property that starts neutralising the poison of a snake or insect bite immediately after it is applied.


A study on supercritical CO2 extract of Lavender has shown that it has a significantly higher (63%) antioxidant activity than its common steam distilled essential oil (48%) and hexane extract (12%). The antimicrobial activity of Lavender CO2 extract has also proven to be effective against the growth of a wide range of microorganisms, particularly Candida albicans, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. 


Another study done by Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research reveals that, “When lavender oil is inhaled for 10 min, there is an increase in blood flow rate and a decrease in galvanic skin conduction and systolic blood pressure (indicating a reduction in sympathetic nerve activity. Human studies with lavender have demonstrated a significant relaxation effect and reduced anxiety…” Inhaling in the form of aromatherapy is useful for treating insomnia, fatigue, stress, and fear. Warm compress is used in menstrual cramps, stomachache, arthritis, migraines and muscle cramps.


In comparison with all the different extraction methods, this lovely CO2 extract has the closest aroma to the fresh flowers of the lavender fields.

Indigenous to the Mediterranean region. In ancient Greece and Rome, Lavender was considered precious and was often used to symbolise luxury or to recognise outstanding achievement. The flower stalks were woven into crowns bestowed on high ranking citizens during celebrations. The homemakers also included the flowers in rinsing water to impart its lovely scent to household items; not knowing that they were in fact disinfecting!


Lavender was used during the medieval times to purify air in musty sick rooms, and as a “strewing herb” (scattered around on the ground as an air freshener). It was then that there was a general sense that the presence of Lavender was healthful, and it was then used to dress battlefield wounds.
