About this product
Shave a few curls from the wax with a potato peeler, warm them in a little oil, and the room fills with the soft scent of floral honey. Mimosa wax is the firmest of our floral waxes: butterscotch to caramel in color, subtly scented, and similar to cassie absolute, only milder.
Floral waxes are nature's most solid aromatics. Making an absolute begins with a concrete, a solid mass holding all the plant's waxes and aromatic chemicals; the absolute is then washed out with alcohol, leaving behind these firm, mildly fragrant waxes. In salves, balms and soaps, mimosa wax adds a soft floral roundness. In creams and lotions it brings a little thickness and body along with its scent, and in cold process soap it tends to give a slightly harder bar and a hint of color.
How to use
- Solid perfume: melt it in a heatproof glass cup, add a little warmed oil until it is as soft as you like, and pour it into a lip balm jar. Add a drop or two of an absolute or a complementary essential oil for more intensity.
- Creams and lotions: melt it into the oil phase.
- Soap: add it to cold process soap alongside your natural fragrance.
- Measuring: for just a few grams, shave curls with a potato peeler into your warming carrier oils.
A small golden block of spring, ready to melt into whatever you make.
