Great for soothing skin after cleansing or shaving. Helps support a balanced, even-toned complexion. Ideal for "skin-reset" night oils and targeted treatments. May be suitable for sensitive, reactive skin in leave-on products. Improves skin texture by replenishing omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids, supporting a healthier-looking complexion. Cold-climate berries deliver naturally high tocopherols (vitamin E) and phytosterols for built-in antioxidant protection. Super-concentrated – effective at 0.5%-2% of the finished formula. Rich in rare essential fatty acids including gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid. Vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced. Stabilised with 0.2% rosemary antioxidant for extended shelf life. Product Description Product Description Arctic Blackcurrant Seed CO₂ Extract is an ultra-concentrated botanical oil produced through supercritical fluid extraction – an advanced method that captures the full lipid spectrum of blackcurrant seeds (Ribes nigrum) while preserving heat-sensitive compounds. The result is a pale yellow to golden oil with a sharp, tangy note at first that has undertones of sweet blackcurrant. Do note that this product is not intended for use as a fragrance – the scent quickly dissipates and disappears in creams and balms. It is used for its beneficial skin-conditioning properties. The supercritical CO₂ extracted Blackcurrant Seed Oil makes up 99.8% of the product. At this concentration, it delivers an intense dose of essential fatty acids, naturally occurring vitamin E (tocopherols), phytosterols, and other beneficial lipid compounds at a fraction of the inclusion rate required for cold-pressed seed oils. 0.2% Rosemary Antioxidant is added to retard oxidation and extend the keeping qualities. The Rosemary Antioxidant used consists of 0.07% Rosemary Leaf Extract in 0.13% Sunflower Oil to make it pourable. Because of its high concentration, the extract is perfect for minimalist serums, targeted eye oils, booster drops, and facial treatments designed to soothe, replenish, and revitalise stressed skin. The product can become thicker if stored in a cold area. It simply needs to be warmed gently by holding the bottle in your hand or putting it in some warm water. Cold-Climate Origins Blackcurrants thrive in harsh northern environments where cold winters and challenging growing conditions contribute to the development of robust protective compounds in the plant. These conditions enhance the concentration of beneficial lipids in the seeds, resulting in a fatty acid profile that helps protect them from temperature swings and environmental stress. This same lipid-rich profile transfers valuable properties to the skin, helping to support moisture retention and a smooth, supple feel. Why CO2 Extraction for Arctic Blackcurrant Extract? Supercritical CO₂ extraction uses pure, pressurised carbon dioxide to isolate lipophilic and other volatile compounds in a very safe and effective way. The low extraction temperature and oxygen-free system minimises thermal and oxidative stress, which results in an ultra-natural composition with superior purity. This extraction process ensures there are no solvent residues, no inorganic salts, and no heavy metals – delivering a true-to-nature extract while maintaining the integrity of heat-sensitive plant compounds. Note: CO₂ Extraction is now being used as an extraction process for some vegetable oils as well. In such instances, the CO₂ extraction is just another form of extraction like the vegetable oil being cold pressed or heat extracted. It results in a good quality vegetable oil, but it is NOT the same as these Botanical CO₂ Extracts which are super concentrated and need to be used at very small percentages. Key Fatty Acid Profile Key Fatty Acid Profile Arctic Blackcurrant Seed CO₂ Extract delivers an exceptional balance of omega fatty acids, phytosterols, and vitamin E (tocopherols), along with essential nutrients that work together to support skin appearance and comfort. Essential Fatty Acids Snapshot Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Ω-3): Supports skin comfort and suppleness Gamma-Linolenic Acid (Ω-6): Helps maintain skin moisture and smooth texture Stearidonic Acid (Ω-3): Rare omega-3 fatty acid found in few seed oils; supports balanced-looking skin Natural Antioxidants: Blackcurrant Anthocyanins Cold-climate seed oils naturally accumulate beneficial compounds such as tocopherols (vitamin E) and phytosterols, which help protect the finished formula from oxidation while delivering skin-comforting benefits. Sensory Profile & Texture A pale yellow to yellow oil with a sharp tangy note at first that has undertones of sweet blackcurrant. This initial scent evaporates within seconds, making it compatible with fragrance-free or lightly scented products. The extract pours freely but feels almost weightless once applied. The finish is satin-smooth rather than oily, leaving skin soft yet breathable. Formulation Highlights Formulation Highlights Compatible Carrier Oils Blend with jojoba, squalane, or rice bran for a light day serum. For richer night treatments, partner with avocado oil or shea oil for extra cushion. Ideal Product Types Omega-booster drops Waterless balms & butters Overnight renewal oils Eye-zone serums Post-shave face oils Scalp-care treatments Leave-on skin tonics Because the extract is oil-soluble only, it must be dispersed in an oil phase or suspended in a gel matrix designed to hold lipids. How to use it How to use it Usage Rate: 0.5% - 2% Skin Care Arctic Blackcurrant Seed CO2 Extract is potent for moisturising and softening the skin. It can be used in creams and lotions, but is even more effective when used in serums. As an effective antioxidant, it helps to maintain healthy skin. It nourishes the skin, especially dull and lifeless skin. Excellent to use in anti-aging products to brighten the skin. Hair Care It helps to strengthen hair growth, but this is better to use in a leave-on scalp product or tonic than in a shampoo. Solubility: Oil soluble – cannot be used in water-only products. It can be used in small amounts in water-based gels that will hold it in suspension. Heat Stability: Not heat stable – should be used in Stage 3 (cool stage) when making creams and lotions. Avoid temperatures above 40°C to prevent nutrient loss.
