Salvia sclarea—known as Clary Sage—is native to the Mediterranean region and cultivated in France, Bulgaria, and the Balkans for its fragrant blossoms and therapeutic oil. For centuries, it has been associated with clarity, calm, and creativity, often used in perfumery and herbal medicine.

Through supercritical CO₂ extraction, the flowering tops are gently processed with carbon dioxide under controlled pressure and temperature. This clean, solvent-free method captures both volatile aroma compounds (like linalool and linalyl acetate) and non-volatile components (such as plant waxes and fatty acids).

The result is a semi-solid wax of soft amber to pale brown color, free of hexane or ethanol residues, and rich in both aromatic and functional plant constituents.

It represents the whole plant in concentrated form—pure, complete, and true to nature.

Clary Sage CO₂ Wax, extracted from the flowering tops of Salvia sclarea, is a rich and aromatic wax produced through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This exquisite natural material captures the herbaceous, musky, and softly floral essence of Clary Sage in a semi-solid form—offering both aromatic depth and therapeutic value.

Unlike distilled essential oil, the CO₂ wax contains the plant’s full lipophilic spectrum: aromatic molecules, wax esters, phytosterols, and natural antioxidants. The result is a creamy, aromatic wax with a complex fragrance profile and remarkable benefits for the skin and emotions.

Highly prized in natural perfumery, skincare, and aromatherapy, Clary Sage CO₂ Wax is a grounding and balancing material that harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit.
