The CO₂ extract of Nettle Root embodies the raw vitality of one of Europe’s oldest medicinal plants — Urtica dioica, revered for its restorative and detoxifying power.
While the leaves are known for their minerals and tonics, the root holds the plant’s deepest energy — rich in sterols, lignans, and fatty acids that promote strength, circulation, and hormonal balance.
Through the gentle precision of supercritical CO₂ extraction, this essence captures the full-spectrum phytochemical matrix of the root — yielding a dark golden, resinous extract with an earthy, green-amber aroma that connects directly to the energy of the soil.
It is both therapeutic and symbolic: a grounding, strengthening botanical essence that restores vitality to skin, hair, and spirit.
The supercritical CO₂ extraction process uses pressurized carbon dioxide as a natural solvent, leaving no residues and preserving sensitive bioactives.
Roots are ethically harvested from sustainable European crops, ensuring environmental balance and soil regeneration.
Unlike solvent extraction, CO₂ extraction operates at low temperatures, retaining fatty acids, sterols, and phenolic compounds that contribute to its therapeutic and cosmetic efficacy.
The result is a pure, food-grade, eco-luxury extract ideal for clean beauty and green formulations.
In European herbal medicine, Nettle Root has long been a symbol of strength, endurance, and purification.
Its roots were used in medieval tonics for stamina, while its leaves symbolized protection and cleansing.
In folklore, nettle was carried to ward off negativity and to invite vitality — a tradition reflected today in its use for natural wellness and restorative skincare.
Modern CO₂ extraction honors this heritage by translating centuries of folk wisdom into a modern, potent botanical essence for holistic beauty and health.
The CO₂ absolute of Nettle Root is an exceptional ingredient that unites the botanical wisdom of the past with the precision of modern extraction.
It is earthy, fortifying, and deeply regenerative, offering both physical and energetic grounding.
In skincare, it refines and strengthens; in haircare, it renews and revitalizes; in aromatherapy, it anchors and restores balance.
A symbol of endurance and vitality, this extract reconnects us with the healing intelligence of nature — the strength that lies in the roots.
