INCI: Citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel wax
Description:
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.
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 sunblocks should be used.

I use this to make a cleansing cream instead of beewax. Wow, it smells fresh, and not drying. I can feel my skin breath.

I started using this in my lipbalms and it smelled fantastic mixed with benzoin and ginger. Cant wait to try formulating an all natural furniture polish with this.

This product says that it is a wax, but it looks more like syrup.
