Praan Naturals German Chamomile CO2 Total Extract is produced from Chamomilla Recutita and is also known as Blue Chamomile CO2 Total Extract. It contains both the volatile and non-volatile CO2 soluble components of Chamomilla recutita (synonymous with Matricaria recutita).
CO2 Totals are CO2 Supercritical Extracts that have been extracted at higher pressure than those classified as CO2 Selects. CO2 Totals are the closest representation of the natural plant ever achieved.
Aromatically, Praan Naturals German Chamomile CO2 Total Extract possesses a pleasant, fruity, floral chamomile aroma that is similar in aroma to that of the original botanical. It is much fresher, sweeter and pleasant in aroma than most steam distilled German chamomile essential oils. If you tend to prefer the aroma of English and Roman chamomile essential oils to that of German chamomile oils, then there is an excellent chance that you will be very pleased with the aroma of our German Chamomile CO2 Total Extract.
German Chamomile CO2 Total Extract is especially soothing, calming and supportive for dry, mature, damaged and problem skin types. Due to its Matricin content, it is also highly anti-inflammatory.
German Chamomile CO2 Total Extract is a deep golden green. In addition to its natural composition of essential oil constituents, it contains the heavier waxes, fatty acids, resins, color compounds and other non-volatile compounds.
Matricin, a sesquiterpene that is present within the CO2 extract but not the steam distilled oil, is reported to offer superior benefit to that of Chamazulene. Because Matricin is considered to be more effective than Chamazulene, less CO2 is often needed to achieve the same results and efficacy in comparison to working with the steam distilled essential oil.
German Chamomile CO2 Total Extract is thick at room temperature and should be gently warmed before incorporating it into blends and formulations. It is soluble in essential oils and vegetable oils.
