Candelilla Wax

Candelilla Wax is a natural, plant-based wax derived from the leaves of the Candelilla shrub (Euphorbia cerifera), native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. Known for its smooth texture and glossy finish, this vegan-friendly wax is a popular alternative to beeswax in cosmetic formulations. It provides structure, stability, and moisture-locking properties, making it ideal for lip balms, lotions, creams, salves, and hair care products.

Benefits:

• 100% plant-based and vegan-friendly
• Excellent thickening and stabilizing agent
• Adds a smooth, glossy finish to cosmetic products
• Helps lock in moisture for soft, nourished skin
• Improves hardness and texture in balms and sticks

How to Use:

1. Recommended usage rate: 1–20%, depending on formulation
2. Melt the wax at 68–73°C (154–163°F) and blend into your oil phase
3. Combine with other oils, butters, or waxes for desired consistency
4. Stir thoroughly while cooling for a smooth, even texture
