Our Green Tea Leaf Wax CO₂ Extract is an exceptionally refined botanical ingredient obtained from the young leaves of Camellia Sinensis, extracted under supercritical CO₂ conditions to preserve the plant’s full aromatic and biochemical complexity. Unlike traditional solvent extractions, the CO₂ method yields a clean, pure, and highly concentrated wax rich in polyphenols, Catechins, Theaflavins, plant sterols, and naturally occurring lipid fractions. This makes it one of the most antioxidant-dense waxes available in the world of natural raw materials.

The wax’s profile is remarkably smooth, creamy, and velvety, with a pale green-golden tone that reflects its purity. Its melting point allows it to integrate seamlessly into both cold-process and hot-process formulations. When added to skincare, this wax contributes not only structural stability but also remarkable protective and rejuvenating properties, helping shield the skin from environmental stressors and oxidative damage.


Aromatic Profile

The aroma of Green Tea Leaf Wax is subtly fresh, clean, and green with floral undertone. It carries faint notes of herbaceous sweetness, soft floral undertones, and a slightly earthy finish reminiscent of spring foliage.
Its scent is calming, uplifting, and soothing — a perfect middle-green note that blends beautifully with citrus, florals, woods, and herbal essential oils.

Perfumers value this wax for its ability to introduce:

- A natural green facet
