White Tea Leaf Wax is a rare and refined botanical wax obtained as a by-product during the extraction of Camellia sinensis leaves, through advanced processes such as supercritical CO₂ extraction.
This wax captures the subtle, delicate essence of white tea, offering a faintly sweet, green, and slightly floral aroma. It presents as a soft to semi-solid wax with a smooth, creamy texture and a light beige to pale green hue.
Rich in natural lipids, phytosterols, and antioxidant compounds, White Tea Leaf Wax embodies the protective and revitalizing qualities of the tea plant. It is especially valued in high-end cosmetic and perfumery formulations for its elegant sensorial profile and functional performance.
