Supercritical CO2 (scCO2) for cosmetics and perfumery

Preserving the virtues of plants
Extraction without chemical solvents
Benefits for cosmetics
Advantages for perfumers

The importance of natural extraction for cosmetics

Today’s consumers are looking for naturally extracted cosmetics, and are keen to choose products that respect their health and the environment, where transparency is paramount.

In cosmetics and perfumery, you face several challenges:

  • Offer extracts that preserve all the virtues of the plant (smell, benefits, etc.).
  • Guaranteeing quality extraction using natural processes
  • Reduce or eliminate the use of petrochemical solvents by opting for green solvents
  • Extract the most complex molecules and essences using innovative extraction equipment

In the cosmetics sector

Thanks to our cosmetics extraction equipment and the SFE Process, the extracts obtained are stable and free from any trace of solvents. Highly concentrated, pure and rich in active compounds, these extracts from natural extraction for cosmetics enhance the efficacy of cosmetic creams by conferring various properties. What’s more, extraction without chemical solvents ensures exceptionally pure aromas and fragrances, faithful to the raw material.

The benefits

  • Eco-extract production
  • Search for perfumes and fragrances as close as possible to natural plants
  • Supercritical CO2 (scCO2) extraction for cosmetics
  • Substitution of petrochemical solvents with a green solvent for cosmetic products
  • Treatment of ” essential oils ” for heat-sensitive raw materials
  • Purification of cosmetic extracts
  • Organic solvent-free extract
  • Co-product production

In the perfume sector

Did you know that the olfactory profile of the extract depends on the extraction technology used? The use of scCO2 for extraction enables us to obtain fragrant extracts from fresh plants. With this extraction of natural fragrances using supercritical CO2 (scCO2), we obtain extracts under much lower energy expenditure and pollution conditions than those obtained using hexane or distillation, for example. What’s more,CO2 is inert and, unlike other solvents, does not require a second separation after extraction. This technology enables us to obtain CO₂ extracts with organoleptic properties as close as possible to those of natural raw materials. The low extraction temperature means that the olfactory properties of the extracts are not denatured, and therefore brings a certain purity to the extract, of high quality, difficult to find with other technologies, while meeting the requirements of the perfume industry thanks to innovation in perfume extraction. The fragrance is highly concentrated, and post-processing is reduced.

The benefits

  • Creating natural fragrances
  • Smell as close as possible to the raw material
  • Substitution of perochemical solvents with a green solvent for cosmetic products
  • Essential oil” processing for heat-sensitive raw materials
  • Collection of essences difficult to extract with traditional cosmetics extraction equipment
  • Use of fresh materials for the extraction of natural fragrances

Cosmetic extraction
worldwide

Sourcers travel the world in search of new scents to incorporate into their natural fragrances, but find themselves faced with the problem of preservation. How do you ensure that the extract retains all its properties during its journey?

SIY

Nomadic system

SIY

For extraction anywhere, anytime

Discover the device
SFE Process has created the SIY (Scent it Yourself), a nomadic supercritical CO2 extractor that captures the olfactory essence of the plant, without denaturing or degrading it, thanks to natural cosmetic extraction. This extraction ensures an authentic fragrance and can be performed on fresh material, directly in the field. Discover our nomadic educational extractor. At SFE Process, we are committed to offering you a tailor-made solution that best meets your needs and expectations, always with an eco-responsible, co-constructed approach. In addition to extraction, you can complete your process with supercritical CO2 chromatography equipment to purify your final extract.

All our machines can be prepared for GMP, 21 CFR Part 11 certification.
