Product Description

Organic Amaranth Seed Oil CO2 Extract is a high-performance botanical active derived through supercritical CO2 extraction. It harnesses the unique properties of Amaranthus Caudatus seeds, as well as other amaranth species, delivering powerful skin-nourishing qualities in a concentrated form. The oil is certified organic, and absolutely free from chemicals, artificial colours, and additives, ensuring purity and authenticity.

This extract is exceptionally rich in natural squalene, a compound that closely mimics the skin’s own lipid barrier, making it especially useful for dry, mature, or compromised skin. With a silky texture, and subtle natural aroma, this golden-hued oil spreads easily and absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It is a good source of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fat, and compares favorably to other seed oils in terms of nutrition and health benefits.

The chemical composition of amaranth oil includes a high content of fatty acids, such as unsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (notably omega-3 and omega-6), as well as palmitic acid. Its lipid profile supports cardiovascular health and helps protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. The oil also provides energy and is valued as a food ingredient, with a moderate calorie content.

With 49.95% Amaranth Seed CO2 Extract, 50% Jojoba Oil, and a touch of Rosemary Antioxidant in Sunflower Oil to preserve its stability, this active is ready to use in a wide range of cosmetic applications.

Amaranth oil is recognised for its role in supporting overall health, disease prevention, and reducing inflammation, thanks to its rich composition of bioactive compounds. It’s a perfect addition to facial serums, oil-based treatments, soothing creams, and layered skincare routines.

Supercritical CO2 Extraction – A Clean & Safe Method

The use of Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) with carbon dioxide ensures a pure, potent extract with no solvent residues, heavy metals, or synthetic contaminants.

Because it is oxygen-free and operates at low temperatures, this extraction method preserves the delicate compounds of the Amaranth seed, including:

• Squalene

• Linoleic Acid

• Oleic Acid

• Natural Tocopherols (Vitamin E)

Unlike cold-pressed or heat-extracted oils, CO2 extraction results in an oil that is concentrated, stable, and more bioavailable, offering enhanced cosmetic benefits in smaller doses.

Cosmetic Uses & Skin Applications

Organic Amaranth Seed Oil CO2 Extract is highly versatile and valued for its skin-calming, softening, and barrier-supporting properties. It is particularly helpful in formulations that aim to:

• Moisturise and soothe dry, flaky skin

• Calm and balance sensitive or redness-prone skin

• Provide antioxidant support by protecting the skin from environmental stressors and supporting mature and dull skin

• Improve the appearance of rough or uneven skin texture

• Layer under creams or lotions for added nourishment

It is also ideal for:

• Eye creams

• Facial oils

• Soothing masks

• After-sun balms

• Leave-in scalp treatments
