The Co2 extract of Rosemary is obtained by using carbon dioxide to extract the essential oil from the plant material. This extraction method produces a product that has a thick, almost waxy consistency, and a unique aroma that is earthy and sweet.
When it comes to skincare product development, it is essential to understand the differences between antioxidants and preservatives. Rosemary Antioxidant is an excellent choice for slowing oxidation and preserving formulations, which helps to prevent them from going bad or oxidizing. However, it is important to note that it does not protect against microbial contamination, such as germs from consumers' unclean hands.
Rosemary Antioxidant Co2 is not only useful in skincare products but also as a food stabilizer. It is a natural and safe ingredient that can be used in lip balms, body butter, and lotions, among other products. In addition, it can be used to prevent rancidity in oils and to extend the shelf life of natural products.
To achieve maximum benefits from Rosemary Antioxidant Co2, it is recommended to use a minimum of 0.20mL (4 drops) up to 0.40mL (8 drops) per KG (35.274 oz) of the finished product. This dosage will provide the desired antioxidant effect while keeping the formulation stable and safe for use. In this small amount there will be minimal, if any, interference with other aromatics in the finished product.
For aromatherapy use of Rosemary, we recommend selecting from our lineup of Rosemary essential oils.
