What is Candelilla wax?
So, what is Candelilla wax? It’s a wax that is derived from the leaves of the Candelilla shrub. This plant is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The plant will be cut and left to dry in natural sunlight, as this is by far the best way to prepare it for the extraction of the wax. Once it has been dried sufficiently, it is then packed into bundles and brought to the area where it can be boiled. The crude wax rises to the surface of the water and is skimmed away. This wax is then refined, giving you the candelilla wax that you know and love.
We only ever supply our customers with the best quality wax, and oversee every step of the manufacturing process so that we can have total confidence in the product.
