In the world of natural skincare, few oils have gained as much trust and popularity as rosehip oil. Known for its high concentration of omega fatty acids, vitamins A & C, and antioxidants, rosehip oil supports skin regeneration, hydration, and anti-aging — making it a must-have for organic skincare brands.
But not all rosehip oils are created equal. The CO2 extraction method preserves more of the oil's delicate active compounds compared to cold-pressing or solvent methods. This is where the co2 supercritical extraction machine from Shanghai North Brooks Co.,ltd. plays a critical role in producing therapeutic-grade, organic rosehip oil.
Rosehip seeds are packed with beneficial compounds that are easily degraded by heat and oxygen. Traditional pressing or solvent extraction:
Can cause oxidation
Results in lower bioactive content
Leaves trace solvents in the oil
CO2 supercritical extraction, by contrast:
Operates at low temperatures (35–50°C)
Leaves no solvent residue
Offers higher yield and purity
Preserves polyunsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids
This makes it ideal for organic-certified skincare ingredients.
