Description
Candelilla Wax, a natural wax extracted from the leaves of the Euphorbia antisyphilitica shrub, is native to Mexico. This wax is typically pale to deep yellow in color and has a mild scent.
In the cosmetic industry, Candelilla wax is prized for its ability to add shine and hardness to products. Its high oil-binding capacity and less sticky nature compared to beeswax make it a popular choice. It’s particularly useful in adjusting the texture of oil-in-water emulsions.
Due to its shine-enhancing, oil-binding, and hardening properties, Candelilla wax is becoming increasingly popular in lipstick formulations.
