The material is an absolute substance of viscous, a thick liquid obtained by extraction resulting in the concrete (aromatic and waxy molecules). And then, an ethanolic purification is performed to eliminate the waxes resulting the absolute. Beeswax Absolute is extensively used in the perfumery industry where similar notes occur (as a modifier), or where rough or chemical corners of synthetic materials must be rounded off. Beeswax has natural fixative property with a soft long-lasting vanilla like undertone. It also makes an excellent choice as a rich and exotic fragrance in skin and haircare products.
