Organic Pomegranate Seed CO2 Extracted Carrier Oil
Our organic Pomegranate Seed CO2 is an elegant fatty (carrier) oil with an extremely high punicic acid content. This constituent is nearly unique to pomegranates, is a highly nourishing, supersaturated omega-5 fatty acid for the skin, and gives a thick, rich and luxurious feel to the oil.1 In topical preparations, it supports the elasticity of the skin and may improve the appearance of aging and sun-exposure. In addition, our Pomegranate Seed CO2 also contains CLnA (conjugated alpha-linolenic acid) isomers, linoleic acid and oleic acid.2 With a variety of antioxidant and beneficial constituents, it is ideal in combination with other carrier oils for use in skin care products and formulations.
Please note that the low temperature CO2 extraction process (up to 104˚F/40˚C) for carrier oils ensures a product that more closely resembles that which is found in the raw plant material and has a longer shelf life than cold processed carrier oils.4 In addition, CO2 carrier oils meet strict heavy metal requirements and contain no carbohydrates, protein, or inorganic salts.5
Our organic Pomegranate Seed CO2 contains a small percentage of Rosemary Antioxidant CO2 – Organic to help maintain freshness.

Storage Suggestions: We recommend that this oil be stored in a refrigerator and used within 1-2 years of the purchase date. It is normal for some crystallization to occur.
Blending Suggestions: Depending on the type of product you are formulating, you can use between 2% to 100%. For a massage oil, we suggest combining 5% to 20% Pomegranate Seed CO2 with 80% to 95% of another carrier oil, or a combination of other carrier oils, such as Sunflower Oil - Organic, Jojoba Oil, Golden - Organic, or Fractionated Coconut Oil - Organic.
Solubility: Soluble in fixed oils, insoluble in alcohol.
Appearance: Golden orange, transparent, somewhat viscous liquid vegetal oil. Please note that this product may gel when exposed to cold temperatures due to the presences of Punicic Acid and naturally occurring waxes. Very gentle heating in a water bath will return this oil to its fluid state.
Aromatic Profile: Very mild nutty/seed-like, rich fatty aroma with a slight astringent note.
Safety Considerations: None known. A patch test should be performed before use for those with sensitive skin.

使用純露的注意事項
關於氣味：
純露是純天然蒸餾產物，會散發著植物的草本氣味，沒法和那些添加了香精的護膚品相比，甚至可能有“酸酸的”味道。這是正常現象，並非產品質量問題。可以放心使用。
純露保存期：
純露是比較穩定的，加上出廠的時候會在嚴格的消毒條件下灌裝，所以在不開封的前提下，只要正常存放，可以按標示的保質期來使用。
保存方法：
放置於陰涼乾燥的地方，避免陽光照射。使用後要蓋緊瓶蓋，避免純露內有效成分揮發。
瓶內有“東西”：
如果是聚合物/絮狀物，搖一搖會散開，就是正常現象。
