Mint Wax CO₂ Extract—derived through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of Mentha spp.—is an exceptionally fresh, aromatic, and cooling botanical material cherished in natural perfumery, herbal cosmetics, aromatherapy, and luxury personal care formulations. Unlike traditional essential oils distilled through steam, this CO₂-extracted mint wax captures the full aromatic fingerprint of the mint plant, including both volatile molecules and heavier waxy fractions that give it an extraordinarily smooth, creamy, long-lasting mint aroma.

This rare and premium material is produced by extracting the complete waxy aromatic portion of the mint leaves using supercritical CO₂, a solvent-free method recognized for its purity and environmental safety. This gentle process preserves the plant’s natural menthols, mint lactones, green wax constituents, and fresh herbaceous nuances. The result is a dense, aromatic wax with a cooling, invigorating scent profile that blends beautifully into balms, solid perfumes, body butters, botanical incense, and luxury skincare.

Our 100% pure Mint Wax CO₂ Extract is ethically sourced, free of additives, and handcrafted in small batches to ensure maximum aromatic richness and exceptional quality.
