Nature's Gift Floral Waxes

If you've read our Extraction page, then you know that the first stage in producing the rare and lovely absolutes is a Concrete...a solid (or semisolid) mass containing all the plant waxes and all the aromatic chemicals. The Absolutes are later removed from the Concrete by washing with alcohol, leaving behind the solid and fragrant aromatic waxes.

How do I use them?

Solid Single-note Perfumes: Melt in a pyrex cup, add a bit of warmed oil (to reach the degree of softness that suits you), Pour into a lip balm jar and there you have it.

Add to creams and lotions: melt and add to the oil phase of a cream or lotion. The floral wax will add a bit of thickness and body, as well as its exotic scent.

Add to cold process soap, for a true, natural rose, jasmine or other exotic. In my experience, even though added at the low rate we add natural fragrances to soap, the addition of the waxes tends to yield a slightly harder bar. The deeply colored waxes will also add a hint of color to your soap base.

Measuring tip: If you need just a few grams for a recipe, pop the block of wax out of its jar, and shave off a few curls with a potato peeler, add to your warming carrier oils.

Orange Blossom Wax
The bride's bouquet... I like to add a bit of Sandalwood to this one. Semisoft, almost soft enough for a solid perfume. this batch is softly scented, but totally free of any solvent scent. We all love it.

Rose Wax
Everyone's favorite. One Soapmaker I know uses Rose wax, extended with a bit of Rosewood Oil to make the lushest Rose Soap I've ever used.
Please note, this Russian Rose Wax is very green, visually. It may affect the color of your products.

Beeswax Beads
I love the scent of natural beeswax. And when I have time to make salves, balms and creams, I use a lot of it. But MELTING a solid chunk of beeswax to produce 1 teaspoon of melted beeswax takes forever. It won't grate on my grater, it ate the food processor shredding blade. So, I compromised and bought the beeswax beads that are readily available if you are interested in a large amount.
If, however, you are interested in a SMALL amount, to make just a wee pot or two of solid perfume, try your first beeswax and borax thickened cream, or a healing balm, we can offer small quantities of these handy little beads. Just melt them with the oils called for in your recipe and you will be off and running.

Emulsifying Wax
We all know that oil and water won't mix. Emulsifying wax is the little wonder that, melted into warming oils, will allow you to whip in hydrosols, water, herbal teas to form your own creams and lotions. I've read the chemistry of it and almost understand it. This is the secret of the face creams that I make. All vegetable based.
Again, you can order E-wax in much larger quantities at a more attractive price from many sources, but if you are just starting your exploration and would like perhaps an ounce or two to experiment with some Aromatic Alchemy creams or lotions, we'll be glad to supply it.
4 oz (Ingredients:Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, PEG-150 Stearate & Steareth-20.)
As is shown in the ingredients list, Emulsifying Wax NF is obviously not a natural botanical product. However we have found it invaluable in our own formulations and thought we should make it available for your personal use.
