Odor: characteristic
Use: 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. It s a beautiful yellow color in tiny beads which may vary from batch to batch.

Candelilla Wax
Odor: characteristic
Use: Candelilla wax is obtained from a shrub named Euphorbia Cerifera, indigenous to northern Mexico. The wax protects the plant against the environment and prevents excessive evaporation. Candelilla wax consists of hydrocarbons (ca. 50 %, C29-C33, mainly C31), esters, phytosterols, free fatty acids, free fatty alcohols and resins. This hard vegetable wax is mainly used for cosmetic and pharmaceutical stick products. It is also suitable for W/O emulsions.

Odor: bland
Use: The Candelilla Plant (Euphorbia Antisyphillitica and Pedilanthus Pavonis) grows in Northeastern Mexico in the wilds of the north central plains and foothills of the Chihuahua Desert, a semi-arid area of more than 100,000 square kilometers. The production of Candelilla Wax is confined to areas where rugged climatic and topographical conditions combine to produce the highest wax-yielding varieties. Plants growing in the hottest and driest areas produce a scale-like covering on the plant, which, after processing at hundreds of rural sites, yields a hard vegetable wax of superior quality.
