Regulatory Status

Candelilla Wax is a 100% natural plant wax obtained from the bushes of candelilla plants (Euphorbia Certifera). This hard and brittle wax is composed of about 50% hydrocarbons with smaller amounts of esters and free acids.

Properties

Candelilla wax has good oil binding capacity, improving the stability and texture of cosmetic products. And with the highest shrinkage property, it provides excellent mould release and is traditionally used to harden stick formulations. Its surface can reach high levels of brilliance once refined, delivering good surface gloss in a variety of applications. Candelilla wax is often used in combination with carnauba wax, beeswax and other waxes to improve skin feel, adhesion and pay-off properties.
