Candelilla is the plasticizer used with chicle to make chewing gum, the wax gives the gum its chew. Candelilla can be used in place of beeswax for vegan formulations. It is also a good additive in candles since it adds strength to wax blends and can be used as a substitute for beeswax in cosmetic applications. The color of the beads or flakes may range from yellow to orange-yellow and the color may vary from batch to batch. INCI: Euphorbia cerifera (Candelilla) wax. SAP: 43 to 65

I use this as a vegan subsititute for beeswax in my deodorant. Melts easily & mixes well.

Made moisturizing creams and sunscreen using this as an emulsifier instead of beeswax to keep it vegan. It worked great!!

I opted for this wax as a vegan alternative for salves and lip balms. I have used it in my "healing" salves (added some Lavender and Calendula infused oil). Will be experimenting with incorporating it into lip balms soon. Great price and product.

I ordered this to make all my solid lotion bars and they are great. I'm trying to go 100% vegan an amazing product hands down.

I ordered this wax as an alternative to bees wax as we are trying to go vegan (no animal products) I liked the end lotion I came up with after some experimentation with it. It takes only half as much candelilla wax as I would normally use bees wax so in that way it could save money not needing as much to make a thicker product. The first time I worked with it turned my lotion into a large huge clump! So, it doesnt take much.

A little of this wax goes a very long way! I only use 1 ounce of this was with about 10oz of oil, and I tell you it makes alot of product! What I love about is that it's very binding. Good quality as usual for a great price!

This mixes very nicely with beeswax for lip balms. I used equal amounts of both, and my lip balm turned out very smooth.
