(Rosa damascena) Floral Wax with 5% Jojoba Traditionally used as an uplifting perfume. Sweet floral aroma wax to incorporate into salves for various purposes including perfume.
Rose Floral Wax from Bulgaria is solid. It is obtained during the production of the absolute and comprised of the natural wax and aromatics present in the rose petals. During the production of Rose absolute, a solid, exquisitely aromatic concrete is obtained. The concrete contains both the aromatic constituents and the waxes of the rose petals. When the absolute is removed, the remaining solid is called wax.
We have added 5% Jojoba so that it is slightly softer than beeswax, but no additional aromatics are added. Rose Floral Wax is typically added to natural solid perfumes, personal-care products, balms, creams, soaps, candles, and other solid or semi-solid formulations. Recommended usage is up to 10% in these products. Since we've added 5% Jojoba, for every 2 parts Rose Wax, you'd add 17 parts carrier.
Solid Perfume: 1. Melt floral wax in a glass container such as a glass pyrex measuring cup 2. In a separate glass container, warm a small amount of carrier oil 3. Add the warmed carrier oil to the wax to reach desired softness 4. Test Softness: Once the carrier is well combined with the wax, put a drop on a spoon, let cool, then test to see if it's the softness you desire 5. At this point, you may want to add a few drops of the absolute or a companion essential oil(s) to enhance the aroma 6. Pour in small jar or lip balm tube and let cool 7. The wax will re-solidify once cooled
Creams with Floral Wax - adds thickness and aroma: 1. Melt floral wax in glass container such as a glass pyrex measuring cup 2. During the oil phase when creating your cream, since we've aleardy added 5% Jojoba, add 2 parts Rose Floral Wax to 17 parts cream base to achieve 10% floral wax in your product.
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
