Production
The production of natural CO2 select extract of nettle root for cosmetics is carried out in Bulgaria, where the natural conditions and cultivation practices ensure high-quality raw materials. The roots of Urtica dioica are harvested from clean areas and undergo precise processing without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or chemicals. Extraction is performed through a supercritical CO2 method, where carbon dioxide under specific pressure and temperature conditions extracts the aromatic and biologically active components without leaving residues or altering their structure. This process is entirely safe and gentle for both the plant and the final formula, providing a high concentration and purity of the extract. The finished product is stored in dark glass bottles in volumes ranging from 0.010 to 0.500 kg to protect it from oxidation and UV exposure, while larger quantities from 1 to 180 kg are packed in aluminum bottles, cans, and barrels, in accordance with storage requirements for sensitive natural substances. Every stage of production from raw material collection to final packaging follows international standards, including ISO and HACCP, with guaranteed compliance with safety, purity, and quality requirements. The nettle root extract is certified and accompanied by technical documentation and analyses for identity, microbiology, and stability. The production process is distinguished by sustainability, transparency, and complete traceability, maintaining the natural profile of the plant extract and preserving its effectiveness in every cosmetic formula.
