Candelilla wax is a wax derived from the leaves of the small Candelilla shrub native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, Euphorbia cerifera and Euphorbia antisyphilitica, from the family Euphorbiaceae.
It is yellowish-brown, hard, brittle and opaque to translucent.
Candelilla wax can be used as a substitute for carnauba wax and beeswax. |
