Prima Fleur CO2 Extract: POMEGRANATE

While some CO2 extracts are essential oils that retain the delicate fragrance compounds in their original source, approximating the smell and even taste of the native plant material, others retain volatile and precious elements beneficial to the skin. Calming to dry and sensitive skins, pomegranate seed extract is age-protective, and aids in boosting self-repair and regeneration with essential fatty acids, tocopherols, and sterols.

 

Prima Fleur’s Pomegranate Seed CO2 Extract [No. 524], extracted in Germany, is highly recommended for use in moisturizing creams and lotions, anti-aging formulations, and formulations for dry, irritated, or chapped skin. It is very effective in softening dry, irritated and aging skin.

Prima Fleur Essential Oil: PETITGRAIN

Prima Fleur’s Wild Forest Petitgrain Essential Oil [No. 242], from the leaf of Citrus Aurantifolia in Madagascar, is certified organic by Ecocert. It’s a wonderful citrus woody scent for blends and perfume. Originally, petitgrain, which means “small seed,” was distilled from the immature and small, round, green fruits of the citrus trees. Of course, if you distill the fruits then there will be no mature fruit to eat or preserve. So, eventually the distillation was limited to the leaves and small branchlets but the oil is still called petitgrain.

The massoia tree, C. massoia, is a species endemic to the island of New Guinea. It is a medium-sized tree with optimal growth in rainforests between 400 and 1000 meters in altitude. The aromatic bark from the tree has been an article of commerce for centuries. Massoia bark has a sweet, coconut-like aroma, and is steam-distilled to yield massoia bark oil. The bark is obtained by cutting the tree at the base, making circular incisions at one meter intervals, lifting the bark off and allowing it to dry.
