Orange Peel CO₂ Wax, derived from the zest of ripe Citrus sinensis fruits, is a radiant, uplifting natural wax obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This exquisite wax captures the very essence of sunlit citrus orchards—bright, sweet, and sparkling—while preserving the skin-nourishing lipids and natural waxes from the peel.
Unlike steam-distilled essential oil, the CO₂ wax retains the entire lipophilic and aromatic profile of the fruit peel, including wax esters, carotenoids, and essential oils, resulting in a material that is richer, longer-lasting, and more stable. Vibrant in aroma and golden in hue, Orange Peel CO₂ Wax is prized in natural perfumery, aromatherapy, skincare, and wellness formulations for its cheerful fragrance and rejuvenating properties.
Aromatic Profile
The scent of Orange Peel CO₂ Wax is fresh, sweet, and juicy, reminiscent of freshly peeled oranges under the sun. It opens with sparkling citrus top notes, followed by a soft, honeyed heart and a subtle warm, resinous undertone. Compared to distilled orange essential oil, the CO₂ wax has greater depth and longevity, with gentle balsamic nuances that round out its brightness.
In perfumery, it functions as a heart-to-base modifier, blending well with:
Spices: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg.
Florals: neroli, ylang-ylang, jasmine.
Resins and woods: frankincense, sandalwood, vetiver, cedar.
It lends both freshness and warmth—an aromatic duality that transforms blends into radiant, natural compositions. Its creamy consistency makes it perfect for solid perfumes, balms, and candles, where its scent unfolds slowly and sensuously.
Cosmetic and Skincare Benefits
Beyond its delightful aroma, Orange Peel CO₂ Wax offers remarkable skin benefits thanks to its natural wax esters, flavonoids, and antioxidant compounds. These bioactive molecules help revitalize dull skin, improve elasticity, and deliver a luminous glow.
Key benefits include:
- Antioxidant protection: Rich in carotenoids and vitamin-like compounds that protect against free radicals.
- Skin brightening: Encourages a radiant, even tone while gently renewing the complexion.
- Moisturizing: Forms a light protective layer that seals in hydration without heaviness.
- Balancing: Helps purify and refresh oily or congested skin.
- Aromatic wellness: Uplifts mood and relieves tension when used in skincare rituals.
It’s ideal for:
Whipped body butters and balms that energize and soften the skin.
Facial creams and serums for brightening and antioxidant care.
Aromatic massage candles or solid perfumes for natural freshness.
Exfoliating scrubs and soaps for a smooth, polished finish.
Even at low concentrations (0.5–3%), Orange Peel CO₂ Wax infuses formulations with both function and fragrance, leaving skin refreshed and luminous.
Aromatherapy and Emotional Benefits
In aromatherapy, orange is the essence of joy, optimism, and emotional renewal. The CO₂ wax captures this energy in a stable and tactile form—ideal for products designed to uplift, comfort, and restore inner harmony.
Emotionally, Orange Peel CO₂ Wax:
- Lifts the mood, helping alleviate stress, anxiety, or sadness.
- Encourages positivity and creative energy, stimulating focus and enthusiasm.
- Brings emotional warmth, promoting relaxation and a sense of safety.
- Balances the spirit, helping dispel fatigue and negativity.
It resonates with the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras, symbolizing confidence, warmth, and vitality. In balms or aromatic candles, it transforms everyday care into sunlit rituals of joy and balance.
Oranges symbolize joy, abundance, and sunlight—a universal emblem of happiness and renewal. Energetically, the essence of orange encourages creativity, self-expression, and emotional warmth.
