Essentia Pura specializes in CO2 extraction. The company works with botanical raw materials and turns them into concentrated extracts. Customers use these extracts in a wide range of products.
They start with carefully selected plant materials. It then uses advanced extraction technology to process them. The goal is to create ingredients with a high level of purity and consistency.
One idea guides every step. Essentia Pura wants to preserve as much of the plant's natural character as possible. This focus shapes the process from extraction to the final product.

The challenge
Preserving sensitive compounds after extraction
From plant to extract
Essentia Pura specializes in supercritical CO2 extraction. This process uses liquid CO2 to extract compounds from plants. The result is a highly concentrated plant extract.
The team controls three key variables throughout the process: pressure, temperature, and time. Each one influences how the CO2 interacts with the plant material.
By adjusting these variables, the team can target specific compounds. This creates extracts rich in active components. It also keeps the original plant's character.
Essentia Pura works with a wide range of medicinal botanicals. Hemp-derived extracts are one of its main areas of focus.
Active ingredients
According to Brezigar, hemp contains naturally occurring compounds known as cannabinoids.
"Cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system, a system found throughout the human body. This system helps regulate and maintain balance across a range of functions."
Brezigar also points to what is known as the entourage effect.
"The entourage effect is a proposed mechanism in which different cannabis compounds work together. The idea is that these compounds may have a different effect when combined than when used on their own."
He compares this concept to whole-plant approaches.
"In whole-plant products, multiple compounds are present together. Researchers continue to study how these compounds interact with the body's endocannabinoid system."
Interest in hemp-derived compounds continues to grow. Researchers are exploring ways to improve well-being, manage stress, and enhance body balance.

Protecting what matters
Extraction technology helps create quality at the start. Keeping that quality over time is a different challenge.
Many of Essentia Pura's products contain bioactive ingredients that need suitable storage conditions.
Brezigar says our products often have bioactive ingredients that need proper packaging. "Proper storage is important because it helps preserve their biodynamic properties for longer."
Without the right protection, some compounds can change over time. This can affect aroma, stability, and product quality.
Terpenes are a good example. These compounds are extremely volatile and can degrade upon exposure to direct sunlight.
"Miron's protective violet glass can help with this," Brezigar explains. "This is especially important for terpenes like limonene and γ-terpinene. "We find them in some of our CBD products."
For Essentia Pura, packaging plays an important role in product protection.
"It helps us deliver high-quality products to our customers."
A precise approach
Essentia Pura refines its extraction process continuously. Since 2014, the team has partnered with equipment makers. They focus on improving extraction settings for various plant materials.
The team adjusts pressure, temperature, and processing time to suit each plant. This ensures steady results and gives strong control over the final product.
The same attention extends to sourcing. Each batch starts with carefully selected raw materials. The team evaluates quality before extraction begins.
This method keeps things consistent, from the first raw material to the final extract.

Results in practice
Extending stability and preserving quality
Packaging as a performance factor
For Essentia Pura, sourcing the right packaging holds great significance. It plays a direct role in maintaining product quality after production.
“After using Miron violet glass, we saw our products stayed stable longer once opened.” Aroma and color were better preserved, and freshness improved.”
Miron glass protects extracts from light. This keeps sensitive compounds stable and ensures consistent product performance over time.
Enabling premium positioning
Beyond preservation, packaging also supports Essentia Pura’s business model.
The company supplies white-label and private-label products. So, it needs packaging that shows the quality of its formulations.
“Miron is a perfect fit for our services. It lets us give our customers clean, high-quality packaging. This supports a premium brand experience.
