When it comes to natural extracts, the process of extracting matters as much as the properties of the product you are extracting. This is why we only use super-critical extracts in all our products.
What exactly is a supercritical extract?
This extract is what you get after putting an ingredient through a supercritical machinery. This machinery (check out the image of our super critical plant attached below) is so advanced that it extracts the purest nutrients from plant based ingredients without harming them.
How you ask? It uses carbon dioxide (CO2) in a super critical state, meaning a state in which CO2 acts like both a gas and a liquid. In this state, our machine gently pulls out the plant’s valuable compounds, like antioxidants, integral vitamins, minerals, omegas and other essential oils, and drains all the nasties like pesticides, impurities etc. What makes it even better is that this process requires no harsh chemicals or high heat for extraction, just an engineer to put the right settings on it.
But wait, isn’t CO2 bad for us? Why would you put it in our extracts? Fear not, because once the extraction is done, the CO2 safely evaporates without leaving behind any traces. So in short, this technology is clean, green, and works to give you the highest quality of plant-based goodness.
Isn’t that the same as other essential oils in the market? Why should we purchase your product when regular essential oils cost less?
Sure, what you get is an oil of the plant based ingredient. But its not quite the same. Because:
1. Purity of a super-critical extract is unmatchable
Imagine sipping onto a freshly squeezed orange juice v. drinking a canned pack of orange juice - that is the same kind of difference that lies in purity of supercritical extraction in comparison to other extraction methods. With super critical extracts, you are getting the cleanest, freshest version of your favourite plant oils and nutrients.
2. Gentle on Nutrients, Tough on Impurities
You know how we are always told that overcooking or overheating food results in degrading all nutrients from the food. Similarly, traditional methods like steam distillation or pressing (yes, even cold or wood pressing) causes thermal degradation and oxidation, resulting in loss of essential nutrients. Supercritical extraction, however, operates at low temperatures, thereby protecting the delicate compounds like antioxidants, vitamins, and essential oils. The result? Potent extracts packed with nutrients, just as nature intended it to be.
3. Maximum Yield, Minimum Waste
Another reason why supercritical extraction is a true champion is that it extracts a wide range of bioactive compounds from plant ingredients. These bioactive compounds are the natural chemicals found in plants, like antioxidants or vitamins, that ultimately contain all the benefits promised in a plant. This means you’re capturing the full spectrum of goodness that the plant has to offer.
5. Tailored to Perfection
Here’s where things get really cool: supercritical extraction is customisable. Our trained engineers can simply adjusting the pressure and temperature, to target specific compounds, giving us the precise control over the the nutrients we want in our product. So we do not just make tall claims, we actually know exactly what we are giving to you.
6. Environmentally Conscious
In a world where sustainability matters, supercritical extraction is a green solution. Before you come to me for all the CO2 used in the process, we would like to inform that the CO2 used in the process is recyclable, and we are currently using solar power to run our plant. Plus, the process itself ensures that minimal raw material goes to waste, and it reduces the need for harmful chemical solvents that can pollute the environment. Choosing supercritical extracts means supporting a cleaner, greener future.
So I ask you, Why Settle for Less?
Yes, traditional methods are great, for they gave us extracts of things we could not have dreamt of using earlier. But we live in a world of modern technology, where extracts can give you much more than just pleasant fragrances. It guarantees you purity, potency, and sustainability like no other process. Whether you’re a health enthusiast or someone who simply cares about quality, supercritical extracts are here to offer you unparalleled benefits. So, when you pick up our product, be rest assured that you’re choosing the best nature has to offer!
