Bulgarian Rosa × centifolia flower CO₂ wax with a soft sweet-floral, honeyed and lightly green profile.

Overview Specifications Aromatic profile Chemistry Applications Safety

Rose Centifolia Flower CO₂ Wax is a rare and luxurious botanical wax obtained from the petals of Rosa centifolia through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This advanced method preserves the lipophilic aromatic and bioactive fractions of the flower, resulting in a semi-solid wax rich in natural wax esters, phytosterols, and trace aromatic compounds.

Unlike traditional absolutes, this CO₂-derived wax offers a softer, more rounded olfactory profile, with delicate sweet-floral, honeyed, and slightly green nuances true to fresh rose petals. It typically appears as a soft, buttery wax with a pale yellow to blush tone and a smooth, velvety consistency.

Highly prized in both skincare and natural perfumery, Rose Centifolia CO₂ Wax combines sensorial elegance with functional performance, acting as both a texturizing agent and a subtle aromatic enhancer.
