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 extracted.
- AROMATHERAPY – Coffee CO2 extract is a great representation of fresh ground coffee itself – it’s strong, smoky, and deep. It’s a stimulating, punchy aromatic scent with gentle notes of vanilla and tobacco. Pair it with Cocoa Co2 extract or Patchouli for a rich, deep scent.
- HOW TO USE – Coffee is a ‘Total’ extract, so can’t be used for diffusion, but this syrupy oil can be added to an oil burner to enjoy its scent. Pair it with Cardamom CO2 Extract for a rich, aromatic experience. It’s a great addition to body care routines when added to unscented base products – add 1-3% to a shower gel/body wash base for an awakening morning shower experience that will boost skin condition too.
- QUALITY – 100% Pure and natural, premium quality CO2 Coffee Extract. Vegan, GMO-free, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced from Italy. Latin name: Coffea arabica.
Coffee CO2, a Rich, Stimulating Oil
A dark brown, syrupy oil. Uplifting, refreshing, anti-oxidant with an intense aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans. As with the drink, it’s a great fatigue combatting oil so great to use when you need a natural boost! It has excellent emollient properties when used combined with a carrier oil or butter and helps to keep skin feeling soft and supple. Coffee Co2 extract also has antioxidant properties which help to protect the skin from environmental stressors.
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.
