EOS Arnica CO2 Cream - 50 ml

Particularly suitable for giving relief to muscles and joints, even during sports.

CO2 extraction is an innovative, gentle and environmentally safe technology for the production of lipophilic plant extracts. The method, based on the use of carbon dioxide, separates bioactive materials from plant substances. Since the high pressure process works without the stress of high temperatures and in the absence of oxygen, the extracts obtained are sterile and do not need preservatives; the process also takes place in a closed circuit and does not involve any release of fumes or residues into the environment.

CO2 extraction allows you to obtain standardized Arnica extracts with a high concentration of bioactive sesquiterpene lactones (SQLs) excluding polar components (e.g. flavonoids) suspected of allergenic effects. The esterified SQLs, in particular helenaline, dihydrohelenaline and their acetate esters, are the most active parts and the pharmacological activity of the extract depends on their concentration.
They cannot be obtained by steam distillation; they are also concentrated many times more in the supercritical extract than in a hydroalcoholic extract.
For the extraction of Arnica CO2, only the flower heads of Arnica montana are used thanks to a sustainable harvesting project.

CO2 extraction method
CO2 extraction is a modern gentle, natural, clean and environmentally safe technology for the production of lipophilic plant extracts.

The method, based on the use of carbon dioxide, separates bioactive materials from plant substances. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a stable and inert natural gas, which leaves no solvent residues and boasts the "GRAS status" (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
