Prima Fleur C02 Extract: MILLET SEED

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.

Prima Fleur CO2 Extract: USNEA BARBATA LICHEN

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 natural, environmentally sound form of extraction that yields the highest therapeutic quality. Click here for more information on this extraction process.
