Overview
Coriander Seed CO₂ Wax is the solid wax fraction obtained from Coriandrum sativum seeds by supercritical CO₂ extraction. It combines a warm, spicy and woody seed aroma with a light citrus facet and the structure of a botanical wax.
Designed for natural perfumery and anhydrous formulations, it can add body, aromatic persistence and a distinctive coriander character to solid perfumes, balms, butters, incense and wax-based products.

Warm and softly sweet at first, with spicy coriander-seed character, a delicate citrus lift and a woody, balsamic dry-down. It works from the heart into the base of a composition and can help round out brighter notes.

- Bergamot, lime, mandarin and orange

- Cedarwood, frankincense, benzoin and vetiver

Chemistry
The wax fraction contains the lipophilic and aromatic material recovered from coriander seeds during supercritical CO₂ extraction. Unlike a steam-distilled essential oil, it also includes heavier, non-volatile wax and lipid components.
The exact constituent profile and concentration can vary by batch.
Applications
- Solid perfumes and natural fragrance bases
- Balms, body butters and anhydrous skincare
- Incense and ritual aromatic blends
- Wax-based fragrance products and massage candles
- Woody, spicy, citrus-spice and amber-style accords
Add during the oil phase using indirect heat.
Safety
- For external use and formulation use only; do not ingest.
- Do not apply the concentrated raw material directly to skin.
- Patch test the finished formulation and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
- Melt with indirect heat and keep away from direct flame.
