What is Ginger CO2 Extract?

Ginger CO2 Extract is a warm, spicy oil that gives your DIY care products a beneficial, activating fragrance.

Ginger CO2 Extract is obtained by applying CO2 extraction to the roots of the ginger plant. The concentration of a CO2 Extract is higher than that of Ginger Essential Oil, which is why it is extra important to use the extract highly diluted.

Benefits

For a warm massage

Add a drop of Ginger CO2 Extract to a base oil such as Fractionated Coconut Oil or Jojoba Oil and give your muscles a beneficial massage. The warm, spicy scent of ginger makes the massage even more pleasant.

Restores your spirit

The spicy aroma of ginger kindles the fire within you, reactivating your creativity and drive. With renewed spirit, you tackle a project, engage in that conversation or immerse yourself fully in the experience of life.

Scent of fresh ginger

The scent of Ginger CO2 Extract is stronger and more true to the scent of fresh ginger than the aroma of Ginger Essential Oil. Ginger CO2 Extract is therefore ideal for use in aromatic products, such as homemade perfume.

How do you use it?

Ginger CO2 extract has a higher concentration than Ginger Essential Oil, so it is important to use the extract very diluted. No more than 1% of your DIY product's ingredients should consist of this extract. That means 1/2 to 1 drop per 5 ml.

What makes it so special?

Unlike Ginger Essential Oil, Ginger CO2 Extract contains gingerols, gingerdione and shogaol phenols, the compounds responsible for ginger's sharp scent. This ensures that the aroma of the extract is much closer to the scent of fresh ginger and better conveys the activating properties of the scent to your DIY care products.
