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 wax that you know and love.
We provide top-quality wax and oversee the entire manufacturing process to ensure its excellence.
What is it used for?
When buying, customers often ask what our wax can be used for. Well, you will be delighted to know that it is one of the most versatile waxes available. It’s great for hardening other waxes, but its addition will have the added of not raising their melting point.
Candelilla is also a widely used food additive and has been assigned the E number E 902. It has many uses, including as an emulsifier, fruit coating additive, and glazing agent. It is also widely used as a base/binder for chewing gums. It’s also versatile in cosmetics, used in lip balms and lotion bars.
It is also worth noting that Candelilla wax is an effective substitute for Carnauba wax and Beeswax.
