What extraction method is used to produce the osmanthus flower wax?
The wax is produced by solvent extraction of fresh, hand-picked osmanthus blossoms — the classic technique for premium floral waxes.
Process Overview
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Harvest | Blossoms picked at peak bloom in Guangxi |
| Extraction | Solvent extraction captures the full aromatic profile |
| Filtration | Two-stage filtration removes plant debris |
| Concentration | Vacuum evaporation below 60 °C recovers the solvent |
| Refining | Residual solvent stripped to safe limits |
What This Preserves
- The characteristic sweet osmanthus fragrance that is legendary in perfumery
- Signature aromatic compounds: beta-ionone and linalool
- Heavier waxy constituents and natural pigments (light yellow to golden yellow)
Quality Control
Residual solvent levels are verified per batch by GC analysis and reported on the COA. Every batch also receives a GC-MS composition check against the osmanthus reference profile.
