Teach Soap

Hi everyone,

I'm curious about Co2 extracts/totals and their use in cold process. I've read a bit online...

CO2 extracted oils are high quality oils extracted using carbon dioxide in liquid form, as the solvent. When carbon dioxide is converted to liquid by using low temperatures and high pressure, it becomes a very safe and effective solvent that allows all the desireable active constituents of a plant to be collected without the risk of heat degradation. Once the extraction is complete, the carbon dioxide is allowed to go back to its natural gaseous state, leaving behind only the extracted essence of the plant. CO2 extracted oils are the closest representation of the natural plant ever achieved.

Anyone have experience or thoughts they'd like to share?

Yes, they can be used in soap, but are normally very pricey.

Thanks SoapBuddy! I do see that they are costly - they seem to be less than essential oils but definitely more than fragrance oils. Thanks again.

You're welcome.
