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 stick formulations

How to Use:

1. Recommended usage rate: 1%–20%, depending on formulation requirements and desired consistency.
2. Melt the wax at 68°C–73°C (154°F–163°F) and incorporate into the oil phase.
3. Blend with oils, butters, or other waxes to achieve the desired texture and stability.
4. Stir continuously while cooling to ensure even distribution and a smooth final product.
