Which extraction method do you use — steam distillation or CO2 extraction, and how does it affect yield and aroma?
We offer both methods: our standard product is steam distillation (as stated on the product sheet), and we can produce supercritical CO2 extraction + molecular distillation grades for premium cosmetic and perfumery buyers.
Method Comparison
| Method | Yield | Aroma Character | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam distillation | 0.04–0.07% | Heady white-floral, creamy, green-earthy | Standard perfumery & aromatherapy |
| Supercritical CO2 + molecular distillation | Up to 5–8× higher | Closer to fresh blossom, full-bodied | High-end cosmetics, luxury perfumery |
State your target application and budget and we will recommend the right grade, with COA and GC-MS included for every batch.
