Clove CO₂ Wax – Warm Spicy. Ideal for solid perfumes, balms, and luxury skincare.

Clove Wax, obtained from the CO₂ extraction of the dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum, is an aromatic treasure that embodies the warm, spicy, and comforting essence of clove in a luxurious semi-solid form. This natural wax combines the fragrant and therapeutic power of clove essential oil with the emollient and stabilizing qualities of botanical waxes, creating an ingredient of remarkable versatility for natural perfumery, aromatherapy, and skincare formulations.

Clove trees, native to the Maluku Islands (the ancient “Spice Islands”) and now widely cultivated in Indonesia, Madagascar, and India, produce aromatic flower buds that are harvested just before blooming. These buds, rich in essential oil and phenolic compounds, are then dried and processed through supercritical CO₂ extraction, a clean and solvent-free technology that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to extract both volatile and non-volatile plant components.

This process yields a soft, aromatic wax containing both the essential oil fraction and the natural lipid matrix of the buds. Unlike conventional solvent extractions, CO₂ extraction preserves the full phytochemical spectrum of the plant, including eugenol, eugenyl acetate, β-caryophyllene, and fatty wax esters, while avoiding heat degradation and chemical residues. The result is a pure, food-grade and cosmetic-grade clove wax, with a creamy texture and a deep amber color.

The scent of Clove CO₂ Wax is rich, warm, spicy, and slightly woody, with a sweet undertone that evokes clove cigarettes, mulled wine, and oriental perfumery accords. It has a dense and enduring aroma, characteristic of high eugenol content, and it serves as both a heart and base note in formulations.

Its olfactory profile is more rounded and less sharp than distilled clove essential oil, offering a softened warmth that blends beautifully with cinnamon, nutmeg, orange, frankincense, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, and tonka bean. In perfumery, it enhances depth and complexity, functioning as a natural fixative and adding sensual warmth to amber, gourmand, and oriental compositions.

In skincare, Clove CO₂ Wax serves as a natural antimicrobial, antioxidant, and warming emollient. It can be incorporated into balms, creams, and massage products for its skin-conditioning and protective effects. The eugenol content provides mild antiseptic and analgesic benefits, supporting formulas designed for sore muscles, winter care, and circulation-boosting treatments.

Its waxy base also contributes structure, viscosity, and a luxurious sensory feel to:

Solid perfumes and aromatic balms

Whipped body butters with warming aromatic profiles

Lip balms and solid soaps for a spicy-sweet scent

Massage candles and warming ointments

Used at low concentrations (0.5–2%), it provides both function and fragrance, while its rich brown hue adds a natural tint to artisanal formulations. Combined with carrier oils such as jojoba, sesame, or cocoa butter, it enhances glide and absorption.

In aromatherapy, the warm and spicy scent of Clove CO₂ Wax is known for its energizing and comforting properties. It helps combat fatigue, stimulates circulation, and promotes emotional warmth during cold or low-energy periods. The aroma evokes grounding and stability, making it ideal for meditation blends, spiced body balms, and seasonal diffusers.

In natural perfumery, this wax is highly valued for its fixative strength and depth. It anchors lighter citrus or floral notes and adds oriental, balsamic, and gourmand nuances. Its natural wax composition allows it to function as both fragrance material and texturizer—essential for solid perfume formulations or wax-based candles.

The Clove CO₂ extract wax retains the plant’s natural phytochemical complexity, notably eugenol, which is widely recognized for its biological properties:

-Antibacterial and antifungal: Supports clear skin and hygienic formulations.

-Antioxidant: Protects against oxidative stress in topical applications.

-Warming and stimulating: Promotes circulation and relieves muscle tension.

-Aromatherapeutic comfort: Alleviates feelings of coldness and emotional exhaustion.

When used in synergy with other CO₂ extracts such as cinnamon, black pepper, or frankincense, Clove Wax creates deeply therapeutic and sensorial compositions.

Supercritical CO₂ extraction ensures zero solvent residues and maximum aromatic integrity. Each batch of Clove Wax is traceable to ethical spice farms that cultivate clove trees without synthetic pesticides. The process is environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and consistent with green chemistry standards.

This sustainable extraction yields a wax that is:

100% natural and solvent-free

Biodegradable and non-toxic

Stable and long-lasting in storage

Rich in natural antioxidants and phenols
