CO2-extracts of plants are composite fat-soluble complexes of bioactive substances, extracted from plant materials due to carbon dioxide compressed to a liquid state.
The main problems faced by manufacturers in obtaining plant extracts are the following:
- organic solvents are not able to provide the most complete extraction of a biologically active substances complex;
- inorganic solvents are not completely removed from the extract.
The process of extracting with the liquefied carbon dioxide allows to reduce amount of foreign substances in the final product. At the end of the process, carbon dioxide returns to its normal gaseous state and evaporates without residue in the product.
In addition, CO2-extracts are more saturated in composition than essential oils, their aroma is closer to natural. CO2-extracts are also successfully dissolved by essential and fatty vegetable oils, which makes possible to combine the therapeutic effects of many plants, and enhance the effects of preparations.
Phytochemists, as a rule, combine several CO2-extracts in the formulations to enhance the beneficial qualities of cosmetics. A professionally selected composition of the preparation, which includes several CO2-extracts, fatty vegetable and essential oils, will have a powerful effect on the problem without a toxic effect on the human body.
