Description
Judean Orange Wax Concentrate
Botanical Name: Citrus sinensis
Part: Orange Peel
ISRAEL
Orange Wax is extracted from the orange peel and then deodorized to lessen the characteristic natural aroma. Color and Aromatic Description: This soft waxy substance carries a slight orange fruit odor and has a burnt orange to brown appearance.The wax can be soft which can easily warmed slightly and added to a nice carrier oil to make your own exquisite pomade.
Common Uses:The chemistry of this raw material is similar to anhydrous lanolin and functions well as an emollient in personal-care applications. This orange concentrate wax contains phytosterols which benefit the skin with natural moisturizing properties making this wax popular in skincare creams, lotions, and topical treatments. Other cosmetic products containing orange wax range from makeup, lip balms and chap sticks, and sunscreen.
During the process of creating concentrated absolute oil, the natural soft wax from the Orange Peels is left behind. This is called floral wax or in this unique Orange wax is a concentrate. It retains a milder aroma than is found in the absolute, but its creamy texture which makes it a desirable ingredient in its own right.
Waxes are easy and very forgiving to use as well as very cost effective in the exploration stage of production and waxes can add body and even texture to a composition or formula where needed. Floral waxes can be incorporated into creams, lotions, balms and solid perfumes.
I find when making a Rose and Orange solid perfume I have to add a tiny bit more beeswax to get the right texture for a solid perfume This concentrate tend to be very soft almost goopy a bit sticky and can sometimes takes time to work with , but the effort can be so very rewarding.
