What is Echinacea Purpurea CO2 Extract?

Echinacea Purpurea CO2 Extract is a powerful plant extract derived from the purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), an herb that has been used for centuries.

This extract is obtained using CO₂ extraction, a pure method that optimally preserves the active compounds from the plant. The result is a concentrated extract rich in bioactive components.

In skincare, the extract is especially valued for its calming and restorative character, particularly for sensitive or mature skin.

How is Echinacea CO2 Extract Made?

For this extract, the above-ground parts of the Echinacea plant are used.

Via CO₂ extraction, the active compounds are extracted from the plant under high pressure, without the use of solvents or high temperatures. This preserves the integrity of the plant and creates a pure and potent extract.

This method aligns with a more conscious, natural approach to formulation, where quality and efficacy are paramount.

Benefits of Echinacea Purpurea CO2 Extract

Supports skin recovery and balance
Echinacea is known for its ability to support skin when it's out of balance. Think of skin that feels sensitive, irritated, or tired.

Calming and soothing
The extract helps calm the skin and is therefore particularly suitable for sensitive skin or skin that reacts quickly to external influences.

For mature skin
With mature skin, which often becomes thinner and more fragile, Echinacea can provide support in maintaining a strong and healthy skin barrier.

How to Use Echinacea Purpurea CO2 Extract?

Echinacea CO2 Extract is a concentrated ingredient and is used diluted in skincare products.

Add a small amount to:

• serums

Typically use a low dosage (0.1-1%), depending on the formulation.

Tips for Using Echinacea CO2 Extract

• Work with low dosages due to the high concentration
• Ideal in formulas for sensitive, stressed, or mature skin

• Suitable for both minimalist and more complex formulations

What's So Special About Echinacea CO2 Extract?

The combination of this plant with a modern CO₂ extraction method provides the best of both worlds: traditional knowledge and contemporary quality.

It's an ingredient for those who choose consciously - for simplicity, effectiveness and respect for the power of plants.
