Euphorbia cerifera
Candelilla Wax is a pale-yellow to light brown vegetable wax extracted from the leaves of the candelilla shrub, grown in semi-arid climates.
Despite being a hard brittle wax (comparatively speaking, harder than beeswax), candelilla is a softer alternative to carnauba wax. This vegan wax option is procured for a wide variety of formulations in personal-care, cosmetic, food manufacturing, and industrial applications.
It is known for its glossy finish on goods, ability to thicken and harden formulations, improve the end consistency of a product, and act as a binding agent.
Candelilla wax has a melting point of 68-73°C.
