Beeswax CO₂ extract is one of the most luxurious and exquisitely aromatic extracts available in natural perfumery, botanical skincare, and high-end artisan formulations. Produced through cutting-edge supercritical CO₂ extraction, this absolute captures the purest, most nuanced spectrum of beeswax’s aromatic molecules—resulting in a remarkably rich, honeyed, and velvety material unmatched in depth and authenticity.
Unlike traditional solvent-extracted beeswax extract, the CO₂ method uses pressurized carbon dioxide to draw out the wax’s aromatic and bioactive compounds without chemical solvents or high heat. This gentle, state-of-the-art technique preserves the full olfactory complexity of beeswax: creamy wax notes, sun-warmed honey, floral nectar, pollen, propolis undertones, and a naturally resinous sweetness. The result is a pristine, clean, and intensely beautiful extract that elevates any fragrance or cosmetic formula into a luxury masterpiece.
Our 100% pure Beeswax CO₂ extract is sourced from ethical beekeepers who prioritize hive health, pollinator protection, and regenerative environmental practices. This absolute represents not only a superior aromatic product, but also a tribute to the delicate balance of nature and the sacred work of the honeybee.
