Candelilla Wax Pellets

Candelilla Wax is a versatile vegetable wax derived from the coating of the “wax slipper plant” (Euphorbia Cerifera), native to North-western Mexico and Southern Texas. Extracted by carefully boiling and skimming the wax, this high-quality wax meets and exceeds food-grade standards and is suitable for vegan formulations.

This unique vegetable wax helps provide gloss and lubricity (slip) to lip balms and lotion bars. Candelilla can be used as a substitute for beeswax or carnauba wax in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. It is a little softer than Carnauba Wax and is sometimes used to make candles and is also excellent in furniture polish. Use Candelilla Wax in lip balms, lipsticks, body butters, creams, lotions, varnish, glazing agent and other products.

Why Choose Candelilla Wax:

• Provides natural gloss and slip to lip balms, lotion bars, and body butters
• A plant-based alternative to beeswax or carnauba wax in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products
• Slightly softer than carnauba wax, making it ideal for candles, creams, lotions, and furniture polish
• Excellent for thickening sugar scrubs – simply melt into oils and mix with sugar or salt

Key Uses:

• Lip balms, lipsticks, body butters, creams, lotions
