Rose Flower Wax

Rose floral wax lends a wonderful, light rose aroma to scent the creams and lotions. The color varies from batch to batch, it's usually light yellow to dark yellow. Floral waxes are plant waxes made from flowers. During production waxes are not added, the resulting wax is a result of separation of the concrete as explained below. Floral waxes are usually produced from delicate flowers in order to retain their fragrance. 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 is left behind called floral wax. Floral waxes are less expensive than absolutes and add scent and color to creams and lotions.
