Key Features
- CO2 EXTRACT -CO2 extraction is a process using pressurised CO2 to extract all botanical materials from the plant, creating a pure, clean, high-quality oil with no solvent residue. CO2 extracts are generally more representative of the original plant material than oils extracted by other means such as steam distillation or solvent extraction as it is a much gentler process.
- AROMATHERAPY –Lavender is best-known for its wonderfully relaxing and soothing qualities for both the mind and body, including helping to support peaceful sleep, relieving aches and strains, and soothing irritated skin.

Lavender CO2, a Classically Relaxing Aroma
Lavender CO2 Extract is a staple in Aromatherapy and is possibly one of the best-known fragrances of all time. It has a has a herbaceous, floral, sweet aroma, and is extremely soothing and is commonly used to help balance the emotions, aid rest and sleep routines and soothe irritability. This oil also has many great skin benefits and is especially suited to sensitive skin. When a couple of drops is blended with a light carrier oil like Jojoba or Apricot Kernel oil, you can create a beautifully soothing face treatment, suitable for daily use. It’s a great blend to apply to your face after cleansing before bed.
What is the difference between a CO2 Select and CO2 Total Extract?
Total extracts – These require higher pressure and low temperatures during extraction, with the resultant extract containing a high proportion of compounds such as fatty acids, waxes, resins, and any plant pigments. The oil is similar in nature to a complete extraction of all the Phyto-botanical materials. They are often semi solid or solid and must be gently warmed to use them like a liquid.
Select extracts –Require low pressure and low temperature with the resultant liquid/extract being made up of only volatile material. This method avoids thermal degradation, avoids oxidation and the result can be used like an essential oil. The oil differs from the distilled or solvent extracted version as it can have a very different chemical composition. Select extracts contain between 35% to 95% essential oil along with fatty acids and other fatty substances.
