A sustainable approach to extract…al CO2 optimization.

Researchers found a cleaner way to extract baobab oil using supercritical CO2 instead of harsh chemicals—the result is pure oil with no solvent residue. The extraction yield was lower than traditional pressing (9.3% vs 37%), but the oil kept the same beneficial fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, palmitic) that make baobab valuable for skin. This method prioritizes purity and sustainability over maximum output.
