Description

Our natural St. John's wort CO2 total extract for cosmetics carries the aromatic reserve of the plant with the botanical name Hypericum perforatum, and on international markets it is offered under the name St. John's Wort natural CO2 total extract for cosmetics, and the same designation accompanies every export offer. The natural order of cultivation is evident from the fields, which go through the growing season without fertilizer mixtures of industrial origin and without herbicide treatment in the surroundings. The clean field keeps the composition within the limits of plant origin. The harvested part comprises precisely the flowers. The growing sites lie across the fields of Bulgaria. The leaf blades show translucent dots against the light, and from them comes the popular name of the herb whose flowers go into this liquid. The family Hypericaceae includes the species in the botanical classification. Supercritical carbon dioxide draws out the volatile constituents of the floral mass. The absence of residual solvents keeps the aromatic profile intact, so the liquid retains the scent of the original plant raw material in every subsequent evaluation in the industry. The reddish-brown color comes from the pigments in the floral tissues and, when concentrated, reaches a dark amber shade. The liquid form remains unchanged throughout the entire volume. The moderate intensity of the aroma is combined with a soft presence that lasts until the end of the evaluation. The herbal character forms the base, while the floral and herbaceous notes pass lightly over it. The composition is limited to plant substances, as preservatives and colorants remain outside it. The liquid form and the moderate herbal fragrance remain the criteria by which the specialist recognizes the natural St. John's wort CO2 total extract upon direct examination.

Application

The natural St. John's wort CO2 total extract is an exceptionally valuable ingredient in cosmetics, as it combines a wealth of hypericin, hyperforin, flavonoids and fatty acids in a concentrated and stable form, obtained through gentle low-temperature extraction without chemical solvents. Its intense red color and warm fatty notes make it a recognizable base for creams and serums for sensitive and dry skin, where its active components help maintain the natural balance of the skin, nourish the epidermis and contribute to a soft, smooth appearance. Used in face and body oils, it supports hydration and enhances the feeling of softness, while in lip balms it provides intensive care for chapped and irritated skin. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, the product is suitable for formulas aimed at tired and stressed facial skin, helping to reduce the signs of premature aging. It combines beautifully with plant oils such as jojoba, rosehip and almond, with wax bases and with water-based active complexes, which allows its inclusion in a wide range of products from cream to mask and from lotion to after-sun care products.

Storage

Store the natural St. John's wort CO2 total extract in a dark, cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Store at a temperature from +5°C to +20°C so that oxidation and the loss of beneficial properties do not occur. After opening, limit the amount of air in the packaging, and when the contents decrease, transfer the remainder into a smaller, clean and dry bottle. For cosmetic products, use aluminum containers or dark glass bottles that do not let light through. Close the container tightly after each use and do not allow access of air and moisture. The storage conditions determine the durability of the aroma and of the quality.
