CO2 Cocoa bean

CO2 Cocoa bean is an aroma material that can be used in, for example, perfume, but also in cosmetics and fragrance products.

Use

CO2 Cocoa bean smells exactly as you expect: chocolate, cocoa. Especially the bitter aspect of it. The smell is quite strong. It is the basis for typical chocolate scents, but is also very suitable for modifying vanilla components used in many scents. It is also a suitable material for coconut, leather and spice scents. In perfumes it is mainly a base note.

CO2 Cocoa bean is very often used in smaller quantities and is solid at room temperature, making a solution can therefore be useful. Because the extract does not easily dissolve in many solvents, this can be difficult and the concentration may be low. A 10% solution in IPM is a good starting point. It can also be used as a solid: scoop out of the bottle with a thin spatula or gently heat au bain marie before use. With au bain marie heating, first unscrew the cap, otherwise the bottle or cap may burst.

Store cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
