Fig Leaf Botanical Wax is a luxurious ingredient extracted from the aromatic leaves of the Ficus carica tree using supercritical extraction. This method preserves the unique scent, which is green, luscious, and features notes of sweet honey and earthy leaves. The process also retains nourishing lipids and natural wax esters, making it an excellent addition to perfumes.
This method differs from essential oils and alcohol extracts by preserving both volatile aromatic compounds and non-volatile lipid components, resulting in a highly aromatic creamy wax. This semi-solid substance captures the fresh essence of fig leaves and is perfect for natural perfumery, incense, and aromatherapy.
Fig stems produce a milky sap called ficin, which can lead to skin irritation or dermatitis, especially in sensitive individuals. Although the stems of the leaves are not used in the creation of this product, it is still advisable for those with sensitivities to exercise caution.
**Caution: It is advised to use fig leaf in small amounts and with caution. Some individuals may be sensitive to fig leaf and should avoid sunlight for 24 hours after use.**
