Date Kernel (Phoenix dactylifera)

Produced using state-of-the-art Supercritical CO₂ technology, this extract valorises the kernel of the Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera), turning a traditional by-product into a premium functional ingredient. This "Upcycled" status makes it an excellent choice for sustainable and circular-economy product lines.

The extract is a concentrated source of Oleic Acid and Polyphenols, specifically Proanthocyanidins. These compounds provide exceptional antioxidant activity, protecting cellular structures (DNA) from oxidative damage and boosting immune function.
