Coriander Leaf Wax CO₂ Extract is a vibrant and highly expressive botanical wax obtained from the fresh leaves of Coriandrum sativum, extracted using supercritical CO₂ technology. This solvent-free method gently concentrates the plant’s delicate aromatic molecules together with its natural waxes and lipophilic components, resulting in a clean, full-spectrum wax that captures the unmistakable green character of coriander leaf in a refined and long-lasting form.
While coriander seed is widely known for its warm, spicy, and citrusy essential oil, the leaf—often called cilantro—offers a distinctly different aromatic personality. The CO₂ wax extract preserves this fresh, green, herbaceous profile, revealing bright leafy facets with subtle citrus, peppery, and slightly aldehydic nuances. Compared to steam-distilled coriander leaf oil, the wax expression is smoother, less volatile, and more persistent, making it especially valuable for solid perfumes, alcohol-free fragrances, and luxury botanical skincare.
