Essential oils extracted with CO2 have the properties of essential oils but have different nuances of aroma. They are extracted using carbon dioxide CO2, under pressure. In normal atmospheric conditions, CO2 is a gas, but when it is at high pressures it is compressed, until it has the density of a liquid, and becomes Supercritical Carbon Dioxide, being in an intermediate state between gas and liquid, being neither of the two. It is in this supercritical phase that CO2 becomes a solvent to extract the essential oils contained in the plants. Once extracted and when the pressure decreases, the CO2 returns to its gas state, dissipating completely, leaving the extracted oil very pure and clean. It is the cleanest technique and achieves the best quality essential oils possible.
