ESSENTIAL OIL Co2 EXTRACTS

Co2 Extracts are solvent extracted products with the solvent being CO2 or Carbon Dioxide. Under conditions of low temperature and high pressure, carbon dioxide becomes a liquid, and in this liquid state becomes an excellent solvent for extracting out the aromatic properties from plants. When the extraction process is complete, the extraction vessel is returned to normal atmospheric conditions converting the CO2 back to a gas, which then dissipates leaving behind a very high quality aromatic product that is the true, unchanged essence of the plant completely free of solvent. CO2 Selects - obtained at lower pressures and more closely compare to the volatility of essential oils since the less of the heavier waxy materials are extracted. CO2 Totals - Obtained at higher pressures to get out the volatiles along with the heavier molecules and plant waxes that would not be seen in essential oils. These will typically be thicker.
