Ginger CO₂ Extract (Zingiber officinale Roscoe)

CO₂ extracted from the fresh rhizomes of Zingiber officinale, this premium botanical extract captures the full aromatic character of fresh ginger with remarkable fidelity. The gentle extraction preserves many of the delicate aromatic compounds that are often reduced during steam distillation, resulting in a richer, fuller and more vibrant fragrance.

Gabriella Oils Evaluation

An exceptionally vibrant ginger with outstanding freshness and depth. The CO₂ extraction captures the lively aroma of freshly sliced ginger root with remarkable realism, offering greater richness and complexity than many steam distilled oils.

Safety

For external use only. Dilute before applying to the skin. Avoid contact with eyes and keep out of reach of children. If pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical supervision, consult a qualified professional before use.

Zingiber officinale has been cultivated for thousands of years and is one of the world's oldest and most widely traded aromatic plants. Native to Southeast Asia, ginger spread along ancient spice routes into India, the Middle East and Europe, where it became prized not only as a culinary spice but also as a valuable botanical ingredient.

In traditional perfumery, ginger has long been appreciated for its ability to introduce brightness, warmth and lively movement to fragrance compositions. Its fresh spicy character bridges citrus top notes with richer woods, resins and florals, making it an exceptionally versatile ingredient for both classic and contemporary perfumes.

Modern CO₂ extraction preserves the delicate aromatic compounds found in freshly harvested ginger, creating an extract that is remarkably close to the scent of the living rhizome. Today, Ginger CO₂ is valued by artisan perfumers and aromatherapists for its vibrant freshness, elegant warmth and exceptional natural complexity.
