Candelilla wax

Description:
Candelilla wax is a natural plant wax derived from the leaves of the Candelilla plant (Euphorbia antisyphilitica), primarily found in Mexico and the southwestern United States. It is composed mainly of long-chain fatty acids and esters, which contribute to its unique properties. Candelilla wax appears as a yellowish to brownish solid and has a melting point typically between 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. It is known for its excellent emulsifying and thickening properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetics, skincare products, and food applications. Additionally, it provides a glossy finish and enhances the texture of formulations. Candelilla wax is also valued for its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin, helping to retain moisture. It is considered a vegan alternative to beeswax, appealing to those seeking plant-based options. Furthermore, it is stable under various conditions and has a low odor, making it versatile for various industrial and commercial uses.
