Aloe Vera Leaf Wax
A rare botanical wax derived from the leaves of Aloe vera, typically recovered as a lipophilic co-product during advanced extraction processes such as supercritical CO₂ extraction.
With a soft-to-medium, slightly buttery texture and a subtle fresh-herbaceous aroma, it can provide structure, spreadability and conditioning in balms, solid cosmetics, haircare and natural perfumery.

In perfumery, it serves as a base and fixative, particularly in solid and oil-based formats.
