White Lotus Flower Wax, a botanical ingredient for developing distinctive skincare, haircare, and solid perfume formulations. Associated with Nymphaea lotus, this floral wax brings a botanical dimension to products where texture, fragrance, and ingredient identity work together.
Explore it in oil-and-butter bases to develop facial balms, body butters, hand treatments, and fragrant grooming products. Depending on its composition, White Lotus Flower Wax may contribute softness, body, and a richer application feel. Its performance should be evaluated within the complete formula, particularly when firmness, glide, or heat resistance is important.
For solid perfumery, it offers an opportunity to incorporate a floral wax into the fragrance base and explore how its retained aroma interacts with other botanical materials. Pair it with complementary oils, butters, and structural waxes to create a finished texture suited to jars, tins, or other solid-product packaging.
Aromatic Description
White Lotus offers a delicate floral character with soft sweetness, gentle green nuances, and a subtle powdery finish. Its fragrance evokes fresh petals and quiet garden air, with a light, rounded quality that complements soft floral and woody compositions.
