Extraction Process
Aromatic plant parts, such as flowers, leaves, or stems, are harvested and dried. The material is then ground into smaller particles to increase the surface area for extraction.
CO2 gas is pressurized and heated to its supercritical state (above 31.1°C and 73.8 bar), where it becomes an ideal solvent.
The supercritical CO2 is passed through the plant material, dissolving the essential oils and other valuable compounds.
The pressure and temperature are lowered to separate the CO2 from the extracted oils, which are then collected in separate containers.
The extracted essential oils are stored in dark glass containers to protect them from light and heat, ensuring they retain their potency and quality.
