Sage CO₂ Wax | Salvia officinalis | Herbal, earthy aroma with purifying, antioxidant, and balancing benefits for skincare and natural perfumery.

Sage CO₂ Wax, extracted from the aromatic leaves of Salvia officinalis, is a powerful and grounding botanical ingredient obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction. It embodies the ancient wisdom of sage — a herb revered for centuries for its purifying, healing, and balancing properties — while offering a rich, herbal aroma and exceptional skincare benefits.

This unique wax combines the fragrant complexity of sage essential oil with the nourishing lipids and wax esters of the leaf, resulting in a semi-solid, aromatic material that is both therapeutic and luxurious. Used in natural perfumery, aromatherapy, and botanical skincare, Sage CO₂ Wax represents clarity, purification, and protection — a scent that cleanses both the body and spirit.

Salvia officinalis, commonly known as True Sage or Dalmatian Sage, originates from the Mediterranean basin, where its silvery leaves thrive in sunlit coastal air. Its name derives from the Latin salvare, meaning “to heal,” reflecting its traditional use as a sacred and medicinal herb.

Through supercritical CO₂ extraction, sage leaves are processed with pressurized carbon dioxide at low temperatures, ensuring the complete preservation of the plant’s volatile aromatics and non-volatile lipid fractions. This clean and eco-friendly method captures both the essential oil molecules and natural waxes, phytosterols, and antioxidants of the leaf.

The resulting Sage CO₂ Wax is semi-solid, olive to amber in color, with a strong herbal, camphorous, and slightly woody aroma. It retains all the plant’s aromatic power, while its lipid fraction provides a smooth, nourishing texture ideal for skin and aromatherapy use.

It is 100% natural, solvent-free, and biodegradable, aligning perfectly with modern eco-luxury and holistic beauty standards.
