Dr. Nick's Notes
This extract has been infused into Organic Olive Oil to aid in its usability by the manufacturer as the pure garlic extract is extremely irritating and potentially considered caustic. The pure garlic extract is approximately 50:1 ratio (50 kilos of Garlic bulbs per kilo extract) – the infusion into Olive Oil makes this a very concentrated and usable extract for the general end-user.
Garlic is a spectacular concentrated plant product that produces a superior quality CO2 extract for culinary and health purposes. Garlic is high in Sulfuric compounds: garlic extract can be irritating for the digestive system in larger doses and when ingesting a person may eliminate potent garlic odors from their skin / body. I tend to use this as an exotic spice in the kitchen, to amplify sauces, dressings, soups or stews. When feeling ill, I will combine 1-7 drops in a teaspoon of honey and eat it to promote immunity.
Several population studies show an association between increased intake of garlic and reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the stomach, colon, esophagus, pancreas, and breast. Garlic (CO2) is an uncommon botanical extract and great to keep around one’s medicine chest / culinary collection. Interestingly enough, I notice more resilience to cold / harsher winters when I eat several drops of the Garlic extract – an increased, bolstered internal heat!
I’ve noted that garlic is historically revered as an aphrodisiac – imagine hundreds of years ago, fine dining in Italy with garlic-laced entrees paired with warming red wines over a romantic dinner. When consuming larger amounts of garlic, one may notice increased sexual drive – whether or not the smell of garlic is attractive to other partners/lovers is up to one’s perspective.

FAQs
EOW's Garlic CO2 Extract is produced from organic garlic bulbs (Allium sativum) sourced from Austria using supercritical CO2 extraction. Garlic's most therapeutically significant compounds are organosulfides including diallyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide, and methyl allyl trisulfide. These sulfur compounds are sensitive to heat, making CO2 extraction preferable to steam distillation for preserving them in their most complete and bioactive form. The result is a potent, full-spectrum garlic extract.
Garlic CO2 is primarily used for its antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral botanical properties in topical and aromatic applications. It is not typically used as a personal perfume ingredient, but rather in targeted therapeutic blends for immune support, antimicrobial formulations, and as a potent ingredient in respiratory or protective blend preparations. Garlic CO2 is a fantastic ingredient for kitchen creations in stir-frys, salad dressings and other culinary delights.
Yes. Garlic CO2 Extract has a very potent, characteristically pungent sulfurous aroma. This is not an ingredient to use in personal perfumery for its scent, but rather for its botanical function within targeted formulations. Even very small amounts in a blend will be detectable, so it is used in extremely low concentrations when part of a multi-ingredient preparation. In therapeutic formulations where its antimicrobial properties are the goal, the aroma may be typically acceptable in context.
EOW notes it blends with warming and aromatic partners including Allspice Berries CO2, Sweet Basil, Caraway, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Lemongrass, Oregano, Rosemary, Turmeric CO2, Black Pepper, and Zanthoxylum. These pairings tend to be in therapeutic formulations where Garlic's functional antimicrobial contribution is the primary goal and the other aromatics help provide a more balanced and palatable overall profile.
Garlic CO2 is a potent extract and should be used at very low concentrations for topical applications. The organosulfide compounds that give garlic its power can be skin irritants at higher concentrations. Use at less than 0.5 percent in topical blends and always in a carrier. For aromatic use, diffuse briefly in a well-ventilated space and avoid prolonged concentrated exposure. Store away from heat and light to preserve potency.
