Jasmine wax
Wax from exotic or indigenous plants is very precious and rare, as only an extremely small amount can be obtained from each plant. This also applies to jasmine wax. The wafer-thin layer of wax protects the delicate jasmine petals from drying out and is therefore vital for the plant’s survival. Luxury jasmine wax is an exclusive ingredient in sophisticated cosmetic products, providing a luxurious touch and a wonderfully beautiful fragrance experience.
Jasminum wax in cosmetics: that certain “something” in creams and lotions
Jasmine (scientific name: Jasminum grandiflorum) belongs to the olive family. Some species are trees or shrubs, but there are also some varieties that thrive as climbers. The bright white flowers bloom from August to the end of October and exude an intense and beguiling fragrance, especially in the evening. Jasmine originally comes from the Himalayas, but numerous varieties can now also be found in the subtropical and tropical regions of Asia, Madagascar and Africa. In this country, jasmine is a popular potted plant, it is perennial but not frost-hardy. Absolues, highly concentrated oily fragrances that are generally much more concentrated than essential oils, are often produced from the flowers. Jasmine wax is the first stage in the extraction of this oil. It is extracted from the snow-white flowers of jasmine and is therefore 100 per cent natural.
Jasmine wax is characterised by a very sensual, opulent fragrance, but also surprises with a certain freshness and lightness.
Jasmine wax – profile
It is quite soft and easy to knead; the melting point ranges from 54 to 59 degrees Celsius. Jasmine wax usually has a reddish-brown colour, but this can vary slightly depending on the exact type of jasmine and its origin. It is oil-soluble and is used in cosmetics in varying concentrations. For emulsions, a concentration of 1.0 to 3.0 per cent is optimal, in balms it can range from 1.0 per cent to a maximum of 10.0 per cent. Jasmine wax (INCI: Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Wax) is ideal for creams, lotions and lip balms and is particularly suitable for dry skin.
Jasmine wax and it use in cosmetics
It is also a valuable and precious soap additive (saponification value 0.195). Jasmine wax has a consistency-giving effect and gives creams, lotions, hair treatments or lip care products an unmistakably fragrant richness. In shampoos and hair care products, it also fulfils another function by gently enveloping the hair with protection, fragrance and a shimmering shine. When jasmine wax is processed with beeswax and jojoba oil, for example, it forms a luxurious base for wonderfully scented ointments. Jasmine wax is also frequently used in Ayurvedic medicine.
