Product Overview

Busy bees are to thank for the aromatic masterpiece of our Beeswax Absolute -the nicest we have ever experienced. The rich warm aroma has notes of sweet honey and pollen with a soft green hay-like body note and a mild, waxy undertone. Extracted with ethyl alcohol from the honeycomb wax of bees, this excellent natural fixative[1] and familiar gourmand aroma are highly recommended for your cosmetic and perfumery creations!

Cerolein is a mixture of higher fatty acids found in beeswax and is probably responsible for the waxy/fatty notes found in Beeswax absolute.[2] From a chemical point of view, all beeswaxes are practically identical, but the aroma of each beeswax absolute has a characteristic odor left in the wax, according to where it was harvested and from what kinds of flowers the bees collected the nectar. Our Beeswax Absolute is ethanol (alcohol) extracted from beeswax after it has been harvested for honey.

In perfumery, Beeswax Absolute helps to round the edges of compositions, provide sugary sweetness to florals such as Mimosa, Tuberose, Jasmine and Rose, and complement leather, tobacco, dried fruit, gingerbread and other gourmand notes. For skincare, it’s beneficial in hand and facial creams, body oils, lipsticks, and cosmetics for all skin types.

Heavenly!

As with everything else I purchase from Eden, this is the best beeswax absolute I've experienced. Very deep, rich, and with a faint honey sweetness underneath, I also detect a faint floral note. Earthy, but not in a "loamy" sort of way. This is somewhat similar to hay absolute. I am never without this absolute in my perfumery creation arsenal.
