Spinach Leaf CO₂ Wax, obtained from the nutrient-rich leaves of Spinacia oleracea, is a rare, antioxidant powerhouse derived through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This remarkable natural wax captures the pure vitality of green leaves—the energy of chlorophyll, carotenoids, and plant sterols—preserved in a smooth, semi-solid matrix that nourishes both skin and senses.

The CO₂ extraction process yields a deep green to olive-colored wax with a soft, creamy consistency and a light, fresh, vegetal aroma. Unlike distilled or solvent-extracted ingredients, CO₂ waxes retain both volatile and non-volatile fractions—including natural wax esters, fatty acids, phytosterols, and antioxidants—making this material a unique blend of fragrance, texture, and function.

Used in high-end skincare, aromatherapy, and natural perfumery, Spinach CO₂ Wax represents the meeting point between wellness, science, and the raw energy of living plants.

Spinacia oleracea, better known as Spinach, has long been valued not only as a nourishing food but also as a symbol of strength, vitality, and renewal. The leaves contain an exceptional variety of nutrients—vitamins A, C, E, and K, essential fatty acids, and minerals—that translate beautifully into topical care.

Through supercritical CO₂ extraction, fresh spinach leaves are gently processed using carbon dioxide under specific temperature and pressure. This eco-friendly and solvent-free technique isolates the plant’s full lipophilic fraction—capturing chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and wax esters in their purest form.

The resulting Spinach Leaf CO₂ Wax is free from hexane, ethanol, or heat degradation. Its vibrant green hue and delicate leaf aroma reflect the purity and integrity of the process. Every gram embodies the life energy of the plant, condensed into a soft wax rich in botanical actives and antioxidants.

Aromatic Profile

The scent of Spinach Leaf CO₂ Wax is fresh, green, and subtly earthy, reminiscent of early morning dew on garden leaves. It opens with crisp, vegetal top notes that fade into a mildly sweet and earthy undertone, evoking freshness and vitality.

This aroma adds a natural green heart note to perfumes, creams, and candles—symbolizing the purity of nature. It blends beautifully with:

Citrus oils: lemon, orange, and bergamot, to enhance brightness.

Florals: rose, jasmine, neroli, and ylang-ylang, for harmony and depth.

Woods and resins: cedarwood, frankincense, vetiver, and oakmoss, for grounding earthy accords.


In perfumery, Spinach CO₂ Wax acts as a natural modifier or fixative, bringing freshness and realism to green, herbal, or fougère compositions. It adds a signature “living leaf” nuance—crisp, rejuvenating, and deeply organic.



Cosmetic and Skincare Benefits

Spinach CO₂ Wax is not only aromatic—it’s rich in vital phytonutrients that rejuvenate and protect the skin. Its matrix of chlorophylls, carotenoids, tocopherols (vitamin E), and phytosterols makes it a premium ingredient for antioxidant, anti-aging, and barrier-supportive formulations.

Key benefits include:

- Moisturizing and barrier-repairing: Restores the skin’s natural lipid layer and prevents trans-epidermal water loss.

- Antioxidant protection: Neutralizes oxidative stress and supports healthy cellular regeneration.

- Revitalizing and toning: Promotes a radiant, balanced complexion.

- Soothing and anti-inflammatory: Calms irritation, redness, and environmentally stressed skin.

- Texturizing: Adds creaminess and stability to emulsions, butters, and solid formulations.


Ideal applications:

Anti-aging and antioxidant creams for dull or mature skin.

Whipped body butters and solid moisturizers rich in natural vitamins.

Balms and ointments for sensitive or environmentally exposed skin.

Men’s grooming products for a fresh, green note and protective benefits.

Solid perfumes or candles with natural, botanical character.


Even at low usage levels (0.5–10%), Spinach Leaf CO₂ Wax enriches formulations with both texture and therapeutic value, leaving the skin soft, luminous, and naturally fortified.


Aromatherapy and Emotional Benefits

In aromatherapy, green plants represent renewal, vitality, and balance. The aroma of Spinach CO₂ Wax channels the energy of chlorophyll—fresh, grounded, and life-giving.

Emotionally, its scent helps reconnect the mind to the body and the individual to nature. It is ideal for those seeking calm focus, emotional clarity, or grounding energy.

Emotional and energetic benefits:

- Restores vitality and combats exhaustion.

- Promotes grounding and emotional stability.

- Encourages balance between heart and mind.

- Supports optimism and renewal after stress or fatigue.


It resonates with the Heart Chakra (Anahata), symbolizing harmony, compassion, and regeneration. Used in candles, massage balms, or meditation blends, Spinach CO₂ Wax invites a sense of renewal—like breathing in the freshness of a living garden.

Energetic and Symbolic Meaning

In herbal symbolism, spinach represents strength, renewal, and adaptability—qualities that mirror its biochemical vitality. Its deep green pigment, chlorophyll, is a symbol of life energy and regeneration.

Spinach Leaf CO₂ Wax carries this essence, infusing formulations with grounding freshness and rejuvenating energy. It embodies the green breath of nature—a connection between the earth and the skin, the outer body and inner vitality.

It is ideal for holistic beauty rituals that aim to restore balance, youthfulness, and natural glow.
