Candelilla Wax

INCI: Euphorbia Cerifera Cera

CAS: 8006-44-8

Introducing our Candelilla Wax, a natural plant-based wax widely used in the cosmetics and toiletries industries. Derived from the leaves of the Euphorbia Cerifera shrub, this versatile wax is valued for its firming, thickening, and protective properties in a wide range of formulations.

Candelilla Wax is known for its ability to provide structure and stability to cosmetic products, helping to thicken formulations and improve their overall texture. It forms a protective barrier on the skin, helping to reduce moisture loss while leaving the skin feeling smooth and conditioned.

As a plant-based alternative to beeswax, Candelilla Wax is particularly popular in vegan and naturally derived formulations. It is commonly used in products such as lip balms, lipsticks, balms, salves, creams, lotions, and hair care products where a firmer consistency and smooth application are desired.

In addition to cosmetic uses, Candelilla Wax is also used in candle making, where it can be blended with other waxes to increase hardness, improve burn performance, and enhance the overall structure of candles. Its higher melting point makes it a useful additive for creating firmer, more heat-resistant candle formulations, particularly in vegan wax blends.

With its glossy finish and excellent binding properties, Candelilla Wax enhances both the appearance and performance of finished products. It blends well with other waxes, oils, and butters, making it a flexible ingredient for both cosmetic and candle applications.
