CANDELILLA WAX (REFINED)

Crude or unbleached Candelilla is a hard wax used to improve the hardness of other waxes as well as a complement/substitute for Carnauba wax. Candelilla is obtained from the coating of the "wax slipper plant". Candelilla Wax is sometimes used as a substitute in polishes for Carnauba Wax although it does not quite offer the same lustre and is not so easily emulsified. In its refined form, however, Candelilla is used extensively in the cosmetic industry for numerous applications including creams and lipsticks where its "slip" characteristics are ideal. Used for cosmetic applications including lipsticks, lip gloss, body creams and lotions, hair preparations and eyeliner. This product can also be supplied in powder and granular form.
