Fields and Applications
1. Spices and daily chemicals
It can be used as a “fixative” or “fragrance base” in high-end perfumes and essential oils for aromatherapy, neutralizing the irritability of other fragrances and prolonging the persistence of the scent. It can also be used in natural skin care products, shampoos and body washes.
2. Handicrafts and Wood Protection
It can be used for the maintenance of rosewood furniture, wood carvings, bracelets, ornaments, etc. After application, it can penetrate the surface of the wood, prevent cracking and mold, and at the same time enhance the luster and aroma of the wood. It is a natural alternative to traditional “wood wax oil” and reduces external wear and tear.
