I second the request for some floral waxes -- and I must ask the

question -- why is everyone calling them essential waxes? They're a

byproduct of the concrete/absolute process, the wax that used to be

thrown away.

 

They're in no way connected to essential oils. Is there some marketing

thing going on I don't know about? I've always known them as floral

waxes, that's all. I have a very hard time wrapping my brain around

calling them essential waxes. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

I first heard about them at

http://www.jeannerose.net/articles/essential_flower_waxes.html --

Weird, " Essential Flower Waxes " has a copyright symbol after it... my

limited understanding of IP law is that you could trademark a short

phrase like that, but not copyright it.

 

Anyway, I seem to have--too conveniently--glossed over the parts

about " solvent extraction " and " mixed with hazelnut oil " when I first

saw the article.

 

Can you folks tell me what kind of solvents are used in this process?

Are all floral waxes mixed with other ingredients before being sold,

or is it possible to get it by itself?

So Googling for " essential waxes " returns 152 results, " floral waxes "

returns 2,590. Guess that says somethin' ;-)

Hi Josh,

 

I think that copyright symbol is for the 'information' (as in any author's

copyright) . . . not the product.
