Wat is Duindoorn CO2-to Extract?

Sea buckthorn CO2 to Extract is an extract with a deep orange-red color that is obtained from the berry of the sea buckthorn bush.

Sea Buckthorn CO2 To Extract is made from the pulp of the Sea Buckthorn Berry (Hippophae Rhamnoides) and is comparable to an essential oil in terms of concentration.

How is Sea Buckthorn CO2 to Extract made?

The berries of the sea buckthorn bush contain only 12% to 15% oil and are bursting with highly concentrated vitamins, minerals and nutrients. By means of high pressure, without heat, a beautiful extract is obtained from these orange berries.

The result is an extract full of active ingredients, including palmitoleic acid (omega 7), palmitic acid and a wide range of unsaponifiable ingredients including: carotenoids, alkanes, tocopherols (Vitamin E) and sterols.

Benefits

Powerful antioxidant for the skin.

Pro-Vitamin A in the form of carotenoids gives the beautiful orange-red color to this extract and, together with vitamin E, forms a rich source of antioxidants. Sea buckthorn CO2 extract is extremely suitable for the care of mature skin. It promotes the production of collagen and makes the skin smooth and tight again. In addition, it stimulates cell renewal, making the skin glow again.

Helps rough and chapped skin.

Dry, rough and chapped skin also benefits from the beneficial properties of this ingredient. Sea buckthorn CO2 extract contains the rare palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that is also present in our own skin fat, which supports the skin's regenerative capacity. This fatty acid helps effectively in the care of scars, among other things.

Effective for damaged hair.

The strong restorative properties of this beautiful extract can also be used on the hair. Sea buckthorn CO2 can be added as a botanical ingredient to your homemade shampoos, conditioners, and other hair products. Damaged hair will revive and regain its shine.

How to use Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract

Sea Buckthorn CO2-to Extract is highly concentrated, so it is important to always mix the extract with a carrier oil such as Jojoba Oil of Zoete Amandelolie. You can also use the Extract as an ingredient in DIY care products. Add the extract to the oil phase of your formula, making sure not to overheat it so that its beautiful properties remain intact. It is important that your end product consists of no more than 10% Sea Buckthorn CO2 to Extract.

Help, I can't get the oil out of the bottle!

Don't worry, this is normal. At lower temperatures, the extract can solidify. Heat the bottle in a layer of warm water (not too hot) to make the extract liquid again.

And then one last tip ...

Would you rather not look like an oompa loompa? Then it is better not to use the extract pure on the skin. The oil gives off a strong orange color and can stain light-colored clothing and sheets. Dilute the extract with a carrier oil of your choice and let the oil soak in well before you put on your favorite white blouse or lie down on your white pillow.
