Orange Wax (Unprocessed)
Average Product Rating: 4.6 / 5 (Based on 17 Customer Reviews)
Orange Wax is 100% natural and is a by-product of the food industry. It is extracted from orange peels with the use of mechanical presses and is further processed to produce the wax.
INCI: Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Wax.
Appearance: Dark orange liquid to semi-solid wax with a strong orange oil scent.
Uses: Formulators will find natural Orange Wax to have excellent emollient properties. It contains phytosterols which acts as co-emulsifiers to aid in stabilizing formulations. Orange Wax is also reputed to possess anti-microbial properties and can be used in salves and balms. It can also be used in lotions, creams, lip balms, shampoos, conditioners or any other formulations that require a natural color and scent.
Caution: Too much Orange Wax in any formulation may stain the skin. Orange wax has photo-toxic properties and as such sunlight should be avoided immediately after use or sun blocks should be used.

This is the truest, strongest orange scent you can find. I have to use very little because it easily becomes overpowering. Very useful as a wax too.

Deep, delicious and strong. Think of Jojoba wax, rather than a hard wax. It's liquid and it's fabulous, in small amounts. Yes, it is a photosensitizer, but in oily hair conditioners, this is wonderful. I feel conditioned and not gunked up. Did I mention I'm oily? I mean I could power a city if they mined my skin. This oil is not available anywhere else I can find and why spend tons of hours looking? It's just what an oily complexion and face needs. Just use a little and it will transform your products. I've not tried in CP soaps, but that's coming. Why not? Superfat.

I just received this wax and it really is incredible. As mentioned, it is a liquid wax and imparts a subtle waxiness to products where firmer waxes could be overpowering. The scent is distinctively orange as is the color so you know exactly what you are getting as soon as you open the lid. The orange is a bit on the sharp side so it works well with warmer notes to balance out the bottom. So far I've used it in cp soap, m&p soap and shampoo with great results and I'm looking forward to trying it with solid perfumes next. You also can't beat the price since very little imparts great scent and color. A real winner here. Now if only NDA could carry other citrus waxes with the same qualities!

This doesn't seem like a wax until you notice the elastic, gummy film it forms upon exposure to air. This is its role in the life of oranges, to protect the fruit from drying and other damage. It can also form a fragrant orange-balsam smelling barrier on your skin as you work with it. Orange wax smells warmer and is not as sharp as orange essential oil, with some woody undertones. Take care to really tighten the lid between uses, as the wax finds ways around the threads, messing up the sealing tape around the jar. I can't wait to try small amounts of this wax in bath products and perfumes. Certainly interesting stuff; thanks for selling it!

This stuff smells GREAT! I don't know what I'm going to use it for yet, but I'll figure something out. I spilled a little of it on the side of the container, and it makes the storage area smell wonderful. Like other reviewers noted, it is syrupy, not thick and wax-like, so I will plan accordingly.

This wax is the absolute best polish for dark woods. You don't have to mix it with anything at all, just rub it in with a soft cloth and wood shines for weeks. It smells great, too, and leaves no oily residue.

I blended this syrupy product with beeswax for candles- it makes a lovely, natural orange scent and adds color. You could get the same scent by adding orange essential oil, but the dabbling chemists must always try new and available substances! It blended easily and I used it both for molds and dipped tapers. It is so liquidy, I was concerned about the candles final state, but they are sturdy. I only added a very small amount, which still imparted big scent and significant color. More experimenting to come!

Mine also arrived in a completely liquid state-nothing remotely waxy about it. The dark, almost black color is a little daunting but the smell is divine.
