Candelilla Wax

Candelilla Wax is a plant-derived, vegan-friendly wax obtained from the leaves of the Candelilla shrub. Highly valued for its smooth, silky texture and exceptional film-forming abilities, it is a staple ingredient in lip care, skincare, and clean beauty formulations. Lighter and less greasy than beeswax, it offers a refined sensory profile that enhances both product performance and application.

One of its key benefits is its ability to create a lightweight protective barrier on the skin or lips. This barrier helps lock in moisture, reduce transepidermal water loss, and keep the skin feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable throughout the day. Despite its strong occlusive properties, Candelilla Wax does not feel heavy, waxy, or sticky—making it ideal for formulas that require a breathable yet effective moisture seal.

Because it is entirely plant-based, hypoallergenic, and gentle, Candelilla Wax is well-suited for clean beauty products, kid-friendly formulations, and sensitive-skin applications. It offers a safe, natural alternative to animal-derived waxes while still providing excellent performance in both skincare and cosmetic products.
