Product highlights

Seabuckthorn extracts are highly appreciated in traditional medicine and in for cosmetics because of their anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and skin regenerating effects.

FLAVEX offers different CO2 extracts from whole fruit, fruit pulp or seeds that are rich in valuable sterols and various polyunsaturated fatty acids. In particular, seabuckthorn pulp is a unique source of the rare palmitoleic acid, a valuable omega-7 fatty acid, which is also found in skin lipids.

Chamomile CO2 extracts are highly appreciated for cosmetics due to their anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and antimicrobial effects and pleasant fragrance. Constant monitoring of the anthecotulide content ensures the safety of use in baby care or care products for sensitive skin.

Millet seed CO2 extract contains around 1.5% of the valuable phytosterol miliacin as well as omega-6 fatty acids and other sterols. Miliacin is a secondary plant ingredient that can promote cell metabolism, skin health and hair growth.
