What is Supercritical CO2 Ginger Extract?
Supercritical CO2 Ginger Extract is obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction of the Zingiber officinale rhizome, a physical process without residual solvent, distinct from steam distillation used for ginger essential oil. The result is a denser extract, richer in the plant’s heavy compounds (gingerols, resins), with a warm and round olfactory profile.
An Extraction Process Different from Essential Oil
CO2 brought to a supercritical state acts as a solvent at low temperatures, leaving no solvent residue in the finished product. It captures more heavy and waxy compounds from the rhizome than steam, resulting in a paste-to-viscous liquid consistency and a rounder olfactory profile than distilled essential oil.
Uses in Professional Cosmetic Formulation
