As clean beauty continues to dominate consumer trends, Google searches for sustainable extraction methods like CO2 supercritical extraction have surged. This extraction method aligns perfectly with the movement towards non-toxic, eco-friendly cosmetics.
CO2 supercritical extraction avoids harmful solvents like hexane and ethanol, which can leave residues that damage sensitive skin or cause irritation. Instead, CO2 supercritical extraction ensures the purest extraction of essential oils, plant extracts, and other active ingredients without altering their chemical structure. This results in cleaner, more effective beauty products.
A high-end skincare brand in France, specializing in organic ingredients, adopted CO2 supercritical extraction to meet the growing demand for chemical-free products. After the switch, they experienced a 30% reduction in product returns due to allergic reactions, while their sales increased by 40% over the course of a year.
For beauty companies striving to differentiate themselves in the crowded market, adopting CO2 supercritical extraction provides a clear sustainability edge. This technology not only enhances product quality but also supports eco-friendly claims.
According to Sustainable Chemical Processes (2021), CO2 supercritical extraction is now recognized as one of the most environmentally friendly methods for obtaining natural beauty ingredients, with zero chemical residue and minimal energy consumption.
