Peppermint CO₂ Extract is a highly concentrated botanical extract obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, a solvent-free technology that preserves the full aromatic and functional integrity of Mentha piperita.
This extract delivers a clean, true-to-plant peppermint profile, combining intense freshness with smooth herbal depth, free from thermal degradation or solvent residues commonly associated with steam distillation or solvent extraction. The CO₂ process selectively captures menthol, menthone, menthyl acetate, and other oxygenated monoterpenes while minimizing harsh green notes.
Beyond its powerful aromatic character, Peppermint CO₂ Extract is valued for its cooling, refreshing, purifying, and sensory-stimulating properties, making it ideal for advanced cosmetic formulations. Its concentrated nature allows formulators to achieve high performance at low dosages, while maintaining excellent stability and reproducibility.
Widely used in premium skincare, scalp and hair care, oral care, aromatherapy, and functional fragrances, this extract is particularly suited for dermo-cosmetic and B2B applications where purity, consistency, and efficacy are essential.
