What is Co2 extraction?
A more recent addition to the aromatherapist’s range of ingredients, CO2 extracts are some of the most exquisite oils I’ve come across.
Historically only used for perfumery and culinary ingredients, extracting an oil using compressed carbon dioxide in liquid form produces a different oil compared to steam distillation. It retains all its therapeutic and aromatic elements but also the heavier elements of the aroma that are often not captured in steam distillation.
The process is more costly, as it requires particular knowledge and skill. I think the result makes the cost worthwhile, and hope you’ll discover for yourself what makes these so special.
