Candelilla Wax – 100g

Vegan Wax for Smooth, Stable & Plant-Based Formulations

Candelilla Wax is a plant-derived wax obtained from the leaves of the Euphorbia cerifera shrub, native to northern Mexico. Known for its hard texture and glossy finish, it’s a popular vegan alternative to beeswax in both skincare and candle-making. Pale yellow and mildly aromatic, this wax blends easily into oil-based formulas, enhancing texture, stability, and spreadability without compromising natural values.

Its higher melting point makes it particularly useful for heat-resistant products, while its lightweight consistency leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish on the skin. Whether you’re creating lip balms, lotions, or eco-friendly candles, Candelilla Wax offers plant-powered performance and professional results.
