Sweet Almond Wax
(Prunus Dulcis)
From the Latin words “prunus” (plum tree) and “dulcis” (sweet)…
Although native to the Middle East, Sweet Almonds are now cultivated in California and the Mediterranean.
Another common use of Sweet Almond Oil is as an ingredient in laxatives.
Sweet Almond Wax - great new product to work in conjunction with Sweet Almond Oil and Sweet Almond Butter for an all "almond product"!
Another addition to our new line of vegetable waxes - a great alternative to beeswax for your balm and body butter products.
