Pictured: Violet floral wax getting ready to become part of a product. It’s really not a very sexy looking ingredient (one almost expects a lovely purple color with that name), but if we had a sniff button available on computers, I’m pretty sure you would agree it has a divine fragrance.

I am a longtime fan of working with floral waxes and am forever on the lookout for suppliers. This particular one had been on my list for a very long time and when I finally found a supplier in Europe, I jumped at the chance to experience this ingredient firsthand.

It was worth waiting for.

Like many floral waxes, this one has real ‘scent staying power’ and a little goes a very long way.

I’ll be looking at floral waxes in more detail in upcoming posts. Meantime, I can reveal this one is featured in the balm you see pictured on the cover of my latest publication. Click the pic below for more information.
