Millet (Panacum
miliaceum) is an ancient grass whose seed is now used in hair care
formulas. The CO2 extract from this cereal grain has benefit for skin, skin
conditioning and smoothing and is added to cosmetic formularies as a
skin-conditioning agent. It is used for hair care (shampoos, conditioners, and
styling aids), as well as body and skin care (facial care, facial cleansing,
body care, baby care). It is a rich orange-red, clear, non-viscous, low
intensity CO2 with a mild, buttery scent.
Prima Fleur Millet Seed CO2 Extract [No. 532] is Ecocert
and USDA/NOP certified organic.

Usnea [Prima Fleur No. 516] is a CO2
from Germany with a very interesting wood and veggie odor that is used in
blending and products. It has been used medicinally for at least 1000 years.
Usnic acid (C18H16O7), a potent antibiotic and antifungal agent, is found in most
species. This, combined with the hairlike structure of the lichen, is why Usnea
was historically used to treat surface wounds when sterile gauze and modern
antibiotics were unavailable.
High
in vitamin C, Usnea is edible. In modern American herbal medicine, it is
primarily used for lung and upper respiratory tract infections, and urinary
tract infections.
CO2 is
a Carbon Dioxide extraction, either "select" or "total." It is a
