Fig Leaf CO₂ Wax | Ficus Carica | For Solid Perfume, Incense and Skincare

Fig Leaf CO₂ Wax, extracted from the lush, aromatic leaves of Ficus carica, is a rare and luxurious botanical ingredient obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This exceptional wax captures the unforgettable scent of fresh fig foliage — a fragrance both green and milky, simultaneously earthy and luminous — while retaining the nourishing lipids and natural wax esters that make it a superb skincare material.

Unlike essential oils or solvent extracts, CO₂ extraction preserves both the volatile aromatic compounds and non-volatile lipid components, resulting in a semi-solid, creamy wax that embodies the holistic essence of the fig leaf. It represents a perfect balance between nature’s fragrance and functional beauty, making it an extraordinary material for natural perfumery, eco-luxury skincare, and aromatherapy.

It opens with fresh leafy top notes, moves into a creamy, sweet-green heart, and finishes with a warm, woody, and subtly musky base. Its complexity creates an olfactory journey that is both earthy and ethereal — a scent of natural sophistication and calm abundance.

In perfumery, Fig Leaf CO₂ Wax acts as a heart-to-base note, blending beautifully with:

Florals: jasmine, neroli, tuberose, and violet.

Greens: galbanum, violet leaf, and clary sage.

Woods: sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver.

Fruits: blackcurrant, bergamot, and pear.

It adds a distinctive natural green-creamy nuance to perfumes, bridging freshness and warmth. Used in solid perfumes, candles, or botanical colognes, it imparts a sophisticated and modern Mediterranean character.

Beyond its aromatic beauty, Fig Leaf CO₂ Wax is a nutrient-rich material full of phytosterols, fatty acids, and natural wax esters, which provide powerful emollient, protective, and conditioning properties.

Key benefits include:

- Deeply moisturizing: Locks in hydration and restores lipid balance.

- Protective barrier: Strengthens the skin’s natural defense against dryness and environmental stress.

- Antioxidant-rich: Helps neutralize free radicals, promoting healthy, youthful-looking skin.

- Soothing and softening: Calms irritation and supports regeneration.

- Texturizing: Adds creaminess and stability to formulations.

Ideal applications:

Facial creams and serums for dry or mature skin.

Whipped body butters and massage balms for smooth hydration.

Lip care products and solid perfumes for texture and scent.

Luxury candles or aromatic salves for holistic wellbeing.

Used at 0.5–10%, it provides both functional and sensory benefits, enhancing texture, fragrance, and performance in any formulation.

The natural lipid composition of the fig leaf contributes to a velvety skin feel while leaving a delicate green aroma — a perfect union of care and elegance.

In symbolism, the fig leaf represents wisdom, protection, and fruitful creativity — a reminder of nature’s nurturing abundance. Energetically, it carries a vibration of grounded serenity and self-acceptance, encouraging balance between sensuality and mindfulness.

Fig Leaf CO₂ Wax channels these qualities through scent and touch: grounding, harmonizing, and restoring equilibrium.

When used in holistic skincare or botanical perfumery, it transforms daily routines into rituals of reconnection — an aromatic reflection of inner peace and natural abundance.
