What are floral waxes?
They are plant waxes, made from flowers. Floral waxes are usually produced from delicate flowers such as tuberose and jasmin in order to retain their fragrance. Steam distillation would destroy the fragile scent molecules. Freshly picked, carefully selected flower heads are mixed with a solvent to produce a concrete. When mixed with a high proof alcohol and then chilled, the concrete separates into a fragrant liquid and a waxy solid. (To make an absolute, the alcohol is removed from the liquid via evaporation, leaving the absolute.)
Floral waxes are less expensive than absolutes and add emolliency, scent and color to creams and lotions. Recommended use rate is up to 10%. |
