Parsley seed CO2 vs EO

This Parsley seed is CO2 extracted, and is therefore different from the steam-distilled Parsley seed ethereal oil. Both versions do share many of the same therapeutic benefits. However, the two different extraction processes result in oils with different aroma, colour, and consistency. CO2 extracted oil contains unique heavy molecules that cannot be extracted by steam distillation. That is why Vizü decided to source for the highest quality CO2 extraction of Parsley seed which is most often prized by herbalists and practitioners of traditional medicine.

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.

Petroselinum crispum

A highly nutritious plant, high in vitamin A and one of our richest sources of vitamin C. There are several compounds in Parsley which have antioxidant and anti-cancer action. The parsley plant is known to mend bones, strengthen blood vessels and also keeping skin and muscles healthy. The seeds are used medicinally for kidney and bladder problems, menstrual difficulties, fluid retention, digestive ailments, arthritis, rheumatism, rickets and sciatica. 


The 2 dominant unique constituents of Parsley Seed extract are myristicin and apiol. Myristicin is a kind of phenolic compound which exhibits a wide range of biological effects as a consequence of their antioxidant properties. Several types of phenolic compounds have displayed anti-carcinogenic and anti-mutagenic effects, and myristicin was reported with anti-carcinogenic effect and also an effective cancer chemopreventive agent. Apiol has a very similar structure with myristicin but its antioxidant activities are significantly higher than myristicin.


Parsley seed CO2 extract stimulates hair growth, helps remove dandruff and eliminates head lice. It also helps soothe all kinds of insect stings.  A little of this extract into skincare preparations promotes a clean complexion and could be useful for eczema and psoriasis. 


Parsley is native to the Mediterranean area and Africa. Female peasants in the Mediterranean area used parsley leaves to relieve breast soreness and curtail lactation of nursing mothers.


Parsley represented honour to the ancient Greeks, and was worn as a head wreath. Theophrastus, the father of botany, claimed parsley benefited the heart. Galen, the Greek physician, prescribed parsley for water retention and sleeping sickness. 


In ancient Greece, the herb was used as a bathing herb so as to commune with the Divine Mother aspect of Nature. It was also thought to make horses run quicker!
