Lemon Peel CO₂ Wax | Citrus Limon | Soft waxy texture make it an indispensable ingredient for luxury skincare, natural perfumery, and uplifting aromatherapy

Main components: Limonene, citral, β-pinene, wax esters, carotenoids.

Lemon Peel CO₂ Wax, extracted from the vibrant zest of Citrus limon, is a bright, aromatic natural wax obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This golden wax captures the essence of freshly peeled lemons—crisp, sparkling, and full of life—while preserving the nourishing lipids and plant waxes naturally found in the fruit’s rind.

Unlike distilled lemon essential oil, the CO₂ wax retains both the volatile aromatic molecules and the non-volatile lipid components that give the peel its soft texture, antioxidant richness, and long-lasting scent. The result is a smooth, semi-solid material with an exhilarating citrus aroma and skin-conditioning benefits—an ingredient that bridges aromatherapy, skincare, and perfumery in perfect harmony.

The Citrus limon tree, native to Asia, is cherished for its energizing fragrance and revitalizing properties. The peel, rich in essential oils and bioflavonoids, is gently separated from the fruit and processed using supercritical carbon dioxide.

This clean and modern extraction method uses CO₂ under high pressure and low temperature to extract both volatile essential oil fractions (rich in limonene, β-pinene, and citral) and non-volatile components such as wax esters, carotenoids, and natural antioxidants.

The resulting CO₂ wax is bright yellow to pale gold, creamy in texture, and free from solvents or chemical residues. Its aroma mirrors the freshness of a ripe lemon grove under the sun—pure, radiant, and unmistakably uplifting.

Aromatic Profile

The scent of Lemon Peel CO₂ Wax is fresh, zesty, and clean, with bright top notes of lemon zest and sweet citrus pulp, evolving into soft, warm undertones of green peel, honey, and light resin. It carries a natural depth and smoothness not found in distilled lemon oil, making it a more rounded, sophisticated expression of the fruit.

Its fragrance brings clarity and brightness to blends while softening the sharp edges typical of citrus oils. In perfumery, it acts as both a top and heart modifier, harmonizing well with:

Florals: lavender, neroli, rose, jasmine.

Woods and resins: cedarwood, frankincense, vetiver, myrrh.

Spices: cardamom, ginger, clove.

In solid perfumes, balms, or candles, Lemon CO₂ Wax provides a stable, sunny freshness that lasts longer than essential oils, releasing a cheerful, clean citrus scent that radiates energy and optimism.
