Description

Candelilla wax is obtained from the leaves of the Mexican plant Euphorbia cerifera. In cosmetics, it is used as a natural alternative to beeswax. It creates a protective film on the skin and hair, preventing moisture loss and softening and smoothing the surface. Candelilla wax provides structure, stability, and flexibility to products, especially in lipsticks, balms, creams, and decorative cosmetics. It has a light, non-sticky texture.
