Lavender CO₂ Wax, derived from the fragrant blossoms of Lavandula angustifolia, is one of nature’s most soothing and versatile aromatic treasures. Obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction, this exquisite natural wax embodies the full therapeutic and olfactory richness of true lavender—capturing its tranquil floral sweetness along with its gentle herbal warmth and soft woody undertones.

Unlike distilled essential oil, the CO₂ wax retains the entire lipid and aromatic profile of the flower, including natural waxes, esters, and phytosterols that nourish the skin and enhance the depth of its aroma. The result is a soft, buttery solid that merges perfume artistry, skincare efficacy, and aromatherapeutic calm in one luxurious material.


Lavandula angustifolia, also known as True Lavender, thrives under the Mediterranean sun, where its violet-blue flowers fill the air with their delicate scent. Harvested at peak bloom, the flowers are carefully dried and then processed using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction.

This advanced, eco-friendly method uses pressurized CO₂ to extract both volatile aroma compounds and non-volatile lipid fractions, preserving the plant’s full biochemical composition without the use of heat or petrochemical solvents.

The result is a creamy, pale yellow wax, aromatic and pure, free of solvent residues, and exceptionally rich in linalool, linalyl acetate, lavandulol, and natural wax esters—compounds that give lavender its well-known calming, cleansing, and regenerative properties.

The yield is low, which makes Lavender CO₂ Wax a precious material, often reserved for high-end skincare formulations, solid perfumes, and aromatherapeutic products.

Aromatic Profile

The scent of Lavender CO₂ Wax is soft, sweet, floral, and herbaceous, with delicate balsamic and woody nuances. It captures the entire symphony of lavender—its bright top notes, gentle heart, and serene earthy base. Compared to steam-distilled essential oil, the CO₂ wax has a warmer, creamier, and more rounded aroma, with subtle notes of honey, hay, and moss that lend natural sophistication.

In perfumery, it acts as both a heart and base note, adding smoothness and longevity to floral, fougère, and herbal compositions. It blends harmoniously with:

Rose, clary sage, chamomile, neroli, vetiver, sandalwood, frankincense, and bergamot.


Its comforting scent makes it ideal for solid perfumes, massage balms, and relaxation blends, imparting tranquility and harmony to any formulation.


Cosmetic and Skincare Applications

Beyond its aroma, Lavender CO₂ Wax is a powerhouse of skin-soothing and restorative compounds. It combines the properties of lavender essential oil with the emollient and protective benefits of natural plant waxes.

Key benefits include:

- Moisturizing: Forms a breathable lipid barrier that locks in moisture without clogging pores.

- Regenerative: Supports skin renewal and helps reduce redness, scars, and minor irritations.

- Balancing: Suitable for both dry and oily skin due to its sebum-regulating effect.

- Calming: Alleviates stress-induced skin issues, promoting equilibrium and comfort.

- Texturizing: Adds creaminess and structure to balms, butters, and emulsions.


It is ideal for:

Whipped body butters and facial creams for sensitive or reactive skin.

Solid perfumes and aromatic candles for relaxation and sleep.

After-sun and healing balms to soothe and regenerate skin.

Men’s grooming products (aftershaves, beard balms) for a clean, comforting scent.


Even at small concentrations (0.5–5%), Lavender CO₂ Wax delivers both skincare functionality and a luxurious natural aroma, making it indispensable for botanical formulations focused on wellness and emotional balance.


Aromatherapy and Emotional Benefits

In aromatherapy, lavender is revered as the “universal healer”—balancing body, mind, and spirit. The CO₂ wax version embodies this energy in its purest, most stable form, offering deep calm and emotional release through its scent and texture alike.

Emotionally, Lavender CO₂ Wax:

- Calms the nervous system, easing tension, insomnia, and anxiety.

- Promotes peace and mindfulness, encouraging inner stillness.

- Supports self-love and compassion, fostering emotional resilience.

- Restores harmony during moments of fatigue, irritability, or sadness.

Its vibration resonates with the Crown and Heart Chakras, symbolizing spiritual clarity and emotional serenity. It is ideal for meditation candles, massage balms, and relaxation blends, infusing each moment with softness and tranquility.

Lavender has long symbolized purity, serenity, and protection. In folklore, it was used to cleanse spaces and calm the mind. Energetically, it’s the flower of peace—balancing emotions, purifying thoughts, and reconnecting the heart with the soul.

Lavender CO₂ Wax channels this same essence: gentle yet powerful, grounding yet ethereal. It transforms simple daily rituals—skincare, massage, or self-care—into moments of deep connection and relaxation.


The CO₂ extraction method is one of the most sustainable techniques in botanical processing—using recyclable carbon dioxide and producing no waste or harmful residues.

The product is 100% natural, solvent-free, biodegradable, and compliant with cosmetic and perfumery standards. Its soft, stable texture makes it easy to incorporate into both solid and semi-solid formulations.
