Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax

Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia Cerifera Cera) is a vegetable wax derived from the leaves of North Mexican candelilla shrubs (Euphorbia cerifera and Euphorbia antisyphilitica). It is used in cosmetic formulations to stabilize products, add body, and keep stick-type formulas solid. It has a melting point of around 70°C and provides a high-gloss finish, making it a popular choice for lip products.
