Yellow Magnolia Flower Wax CO₂ Extract is a luminous and refined botanical wax derived from the fragrant blossoms of select yellow-flowering Magnolia species, obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This solvent-free method gently preserves the most delicate aromatic molecules of the flowers while concentrating their natural waxes and lipophilic constituents into a stable, full-spectrum extract. The result is a golden floral wax that captures the elegant beauty and creamy brightness of yellow magnolia in a luxurious, long-lasting form.

Magnolia flowers have long been cherished in perfumery and traditional botanical arts for their rich yet delicate scent, often described as a bridge between citrus blossom, creamy white florals, and subtle green facets. Yellow magnolia varieties add an extra dimension of sunny brightness and honeyed warmth, making this wax extract especially prized for luxury skincare, solid perfumes, and botanical fragrance compositions.

Aromatic Profile

The aroma of Yellow Magnolia Flower Wax CO₂ is creamy, floral, and softly citrusy, opening with luminous notes reminiscent of lemon blossom and fresh petals warmed by sunlight. As the scent develops, smooth buttery facets emerge, accompanied by gentle honeyed sweetness and a whisper of green freshness. The dry-down reveals soft woody and slightly balsamic undertones that add depth and elegance.
Compared to steam-distilled magnolia flower oils or absolutes, the wax expression is rounder, less volatile, and more persistent, offering a refined diffusion that lingers beautifully on the skin. The overall impression is warm, radiant, and comforting, yet fresh and sophisticated.

In perfumery, this wax functions as:

- A creamy floral heart note.
- A natural softener for sharp citrus or green accords.
- A gentle fixative enhancing floral longevity.
- A botanical bridge between citrus, floral, and woody bases.

It pairs exquisitely with neroli, petitgrain, bergamot, mandarin, jasmine, tuberose, ylang ylang, linden blossom, rose, sandalwood, cedarwood, benzoin, vanilla, and soft musks.

Uses in Skincare & Body Care

Beyond fragrance, Yellow Magnolia Flower Wax CO₂ offers valuable functional and sensorial benefits in cosmetic formulations. The natural wax matrix contributes to structure, viscosity, and barrier support, making it ideal for rich yet elegant skincare products. Traditionally associated with beauty and refinement, magnolia adds a luxurious floral signature to modern formulations.

Ideal skincare applications include:

- Facial and body balms
- Lip balms and treatments
- Solid botanical serums
- Body butters and massage bars
- Perfumed creams and ointments

On the skin, the wax imparts a silky, velvety feel, helping to lock in moisture while delivering a soft floral aroma that enhances the sensorial experience of the product.
