Co2 extraction Method

The essence of the plant is extracted using a relatively new technique called carbon dioxide extraction. Pressurized carbon dioxide is used in the CO2 extraction method to draw the desired phytochemicals, including hemp, from a plant. At certain pressures and temperatures, CO2 behaves as a solvent without the drawbacks. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that becomes a liquid when under a particular level of pressure. This liquid CO2 can be used as a "liquid solvent" that is extremely safe and inert.

The food, dry cleaning, and herbal supplement sectors currently use CO2 extraction as a conventional extraction technique. It is also a typical food ingredient.

These strong CO2 extracts work great in both pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Calendula extracts, for instance, have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties when used at a dosage of 2 grams per 1000 grams of ointment.

CO2 extracts have a one-year minimum shelf life. They ought to be stored in complete glass containers in a cool, dark location, just like steam-distilled essential oils.
