White Mustard Seed CO₂ Absolute represents the most complete, authentic, and bioactive version of mustard oil available.
Through supercritical CO₂ extraction, the natural compounds of the seed are captured at low temperatures and high pressure — without solvents, preserving the delicate balance of allyl isothiocyanates, glucosinolates, natural lipids, and sulfur compounds.

The result is a pure, potent extract that embodies both the therapeutic energy and warm spice of the mustard plant.
It maintains the signature heating, stimulating aroma of mustard while being smoother, less acrid, and more complex than steam-distilled essential oil or cold-pressed seed oil.

In aromatherapy, perfumery, and skincare, this extract offers a unique sensory and functional experience — warming, detoxifying, and revitalizing.

White mustard (Sinapis alba) is widely cultivated in India, Germany, Canada, and Eastern Europe for its seeds, which are used in culinary, medicinal, and aromatic applications.

The CO₂ extraction process uses no chemical solvents, produces no toxic residues, and requires low energy, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable method.

By utilizing mustard seeds that are already a renewable agricultural product, the extraction supports zero-waste manufacturing and circular production systems.

Mustard has been revered since antiquity for its warming, purifying, and stimulating power.
In Ayurveda, it is known as “Rajanigandha Taila” and used for improving circulation, vitality, and joint flexibility.
The Romans and Greeks employed mustard poultices for muscular comfort and digestion, while in modern European herbalism it remains a symbol of heat, courage, and renewal.

The CO₂ extract brings this heritage into the modern era — a scientifically advanced yet deeply traditional botanical essence.

Aroma and Olfactory Profile: 

The aroma of White Mustard Seed CO₂ Absolute is distinctive and robust — earthy, spicy, and slightly nutty with subtle green notes.

Top Notes: Pungent, fresh spice with herbal brightness

Heart Notes: Warm, nutty, earthy and resinous tones

Base Notes: Woody, dry, slightly balsamic warmth

Its scent is energizing, grounding, and unmistakably natural.
Unlike synthetic spicy notes, mustard CO₂ has an organic vitality — the scent of sun-dried seeds and freshly crushed spice.
In perfumery, it functions as a base modifier and accent note, adding warmth, realism, and complexity to oriental, leather, and gourmand accords.

Chemical Composition: 

Supercritical CO₂ extraction preserves both volatile and non-volatile fractions, resulting in a composition richer and more complete than conventional distillation.

Major components include:

-Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) – the main active compound, responsible for mustard’s warming, rubefacient properties

-Erucic acid, Oleic acid, Linoleic acid – skin-conditioning fatty acids

-Glucosinolates & Thioglycosides – natural sulfur compounds with stimulating and antimicrobial effects

-Phytosterols & Tocopherols (Vitamin E) – antioxidant protection.

This dual composition gives the extract both therapeutic potency and cosmetic nourishment, making it highly versatile.

Therapeutic Benefits: 

-Warming & Circulatory Stimulates local blood flow and alleviates muscular tension.
-Anti-Inflammatory & Rubefacient Soothes stiffness while gently warming the skin.
-Antimicrobial & Detoxifying Helps purify the skin and supports scalp health.
-Revitalizing & Energizing Enhances energy, focus, and a sense of inner vitality.
-Skin-Conditioning Lipids Moisturizes and softens when diluted properly.

These qualities make the extract ideal for use in warming massage blends, joint and muscle balms, circulatory oils, and even men’s grooming products that seek a natural, earthy-spicy aroma.

Applications in Perfumery, Aromatherapy & Skincare

In Aromatherapy:

Used in very small concentrations, it brings heat, vitality, and energy to blends.
It’s particularly valued in sports massage oils, winter body treatments, and detox formulations.
Combines well with Black Pepper, Ginger, Cypress, Eucalyptus, and Frankincense.

In Perfumery:

While unconventional, mustard CO₂ offers a distinctive spicy base note for experimental or artisanal compositions.
It enhances accords featuring leather, amber, wood, or resin, lending natural warmth and a dry, complex character.

In Skincare & Cosmetics:

When diluted in carrier oils like Jojoba, Meadowfoam, or Sesame, it helps improve circulation and skin vitality.
It’s often used in warming salves, toning scrubs, and scalp treatments, providing both sensory heat and antioxidant protection.

Recommended use: 0.1–2% for topical applications; up to 0.5% in perfumery bases.
