Red Ginger CO₂ Select Extract is a concentrated botanical extract obtained from the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale var. rubrum, a distinctive red variety of ginger. Produced using supercritical CO₂ extraction, this extract captures a rich spectrum of ginger's naturally occurring aromatic and lipophilic compounds.
Compared with traditional steam-distilled ginger essential oil, a CO₂ Select Extract offers a deeper, fuller, and more rounded botanical profile, making it particularly valuable for natural perfumery, skincare, haircare, and botanical formulations.
Its aroma is warm, spicy, fresh, earthy, and characteristic of ginger, with a rich natural depth. It is an excellent ingredient for formulators looking for a concentrated ginger material with a sophisticated aromatic character.
What Is a CO₂ Select Extract?
