Applications
Extraction and Composition
Tuberose Floral Wax is obtained as a by-product of absolute production, where the concrete (produced by solvent extraction of fresh blossoms) is alcohol-washed to yield the absolute.
The remaining solid fraction — the floral wax — retains trace aromatic compounds and beneficial lipids.
Typical composition includes:
Natural wax esters and fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic)
Minor aromatic compounds: methyl benzoate, benzyl acetate, geraniol, indole, farnesol, and eugenol
Natural pigments and carotenoids, giving the wax its creamy hue
These components give Tuberose Wax both its luxurious texture and distinctive fragrance, while also providing softening and moisturizing benefits for the skin.
