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.
Aromatic Profile
Mint Wax CO₂ Extract has a refreshing, crisp, and cooling aroma that is fuller and more rounded than distilled peppermint essential oil.
Top Notes: Bright menthol, fresh-cut mint leaves
Heart Notes: Cooling herbal tones, green sweetness, soft mint cream
Base Notes: Waxy mint balsam, warm chlorophyll, subtle earthy undertones
The result is a creamy, cooling, long-lasting mint aroma that provides a smooth diffusion and elegant evolution over time.

Eucalyptus
Rosemary
Lavender
Copaiba
Cistus
Spearmint
Cocoa absolute
Vanilla CO₂
Woods (cedar, pine, fir, hinoki)
Spices (cardamom, ginger)
For mint gourmand blends, it pairs beautifully with chocolate and tonka bean.
