Tanacetum parthenium CO₂ Extract, extracted from the flowering tops of Tanacetum parthenium (commonly known as Feverfew), is a rare, potent, and highly aromatic botanical material prized in natural perfumery, artisanal skincare, and advanced aromatherapeutic formulations. Produced through supercritical CO₂ extraction, this extract captures the complete spectrum of the plant’s bioactive aromatic compounds—offering a much truer, richer, and more complete profile than steam-distilled essential oils or solvent-based extracts.
The aroma of Feverfew CO₂ extract is uniquely vibrant: intensely herbaceous, green, sweet, balsamic, gently floral, and slightly camphoraceous with subtle honeyed undertones. It has a characteristic clarity and sharpness that make it a distinctive niche ingredient in perfumery and wellness preparations.
Our Tanacetum parthenium CO₂ extract is sourced from carefully harvested flowering tops grown in pristine fields, processed using low-temperature CO₂ extraction to preserve delicate sesquiterpene lactones, esters, and aromatic molecules. This ensures exceptional purity, potency, and a full-bodied aromatic profile suitable for high-end botanical formulations.
