Product description

Arnica macerate is a plant-based macerate made from dried arnica flowers and organic olive oil. The yellow oil is suitable for a variety of oil-based cosmetic formulations.

To produce it, dried arnica flowers are macerated in organic extra virgin olive oil at a ratio of 1:10. During the maceration process, the oil-soluble plant constituents of the arnica pass into the carrier oil. The macerate is then filtered and stabilised with organic rosemary extract based on organic sunflower oil.

The organic olive oil base gives the macerate a natural oleic acid content, complemented by smaller proportions of palmitic and linoleic acid. Arnica macerate can be processed like a classic skincare oil and can be used neat or as a proportion of oil blends, balms and emulsions.

The product is suitable for massage oils, skincare oils, balms, foot care products, emulsions and other oil-based cosmetic formulations.

Manufacturing process

Maceration

Maceration

Additional processes

Infused oil from fresh or dried plant parts in a carrier oil – fat-soluble plant compounds pass gently into the oil.

A macerate, also known as an infused oil, is produced by maceration: fresh or dried plant parts (botanical raw materials) are steeped in a carrier oil such as olive, sesame or sunflower oil. Extraction usually takes place over several weeks at temperatures of 25 to 40 °C.

Depending on the raw material, dried or fresh plant parts are used. Calendula and arnica flowers, for example, are processed dried, while St John’s wort can be macerated as a fresh herb.

Mainly lipophilic, i.e. fat-soluble, constituents pass into the oil – such as essential oils, fat-soluble vitamins, phytosterols, carotenoids and other secondary plant compounds.

Our range includes:

  • Calendula macerate
  • Arnica macerate
  • St John’s wort macerate
  • Carrot macerate
  • Amla and ashwagandha root macerates
  • Aloe vera oil macerate

The macerates are gently filtered to ensure good product quality and suitable processing properties. Details of the exact composition, the carrier oil used and the INCI can be found on the respective product page.
