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 for its protective and strengthening properties.

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

Echinacea is traditionally used to support the body and skin during times of stress, imbalance or weakness. 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.

Through CO₂ extraction, the active substances 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 powerful extract.

This method aligns with a more conscious, natural way of formulating, where quality and effectiveness come first.
