What are CO2 extracts?
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 extracts contain most of the plant’s original components, including waxes, fatty oils, and colour pigments, hence the hue, scent and texture of a CO2 extract is a lot more intense and is the closest to the original plant itself.
CO2 extracted oils are food and medical grade, often used in the food industry and in dietary supplement products.
