Candelilla Wax

Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax · Candelilla Cera · Euphorbia Cerifera CeraBarrier

Plant-derived wax from the candelilla shrub. Vegan beeswax substitute; firmer texture.

What it does

Candelilla wax is the vegan workhorse for balm structure. Slightly firmer than beeswax — formulators typically need less to achieve the same balm hardness. Common in lip balms, mascaras, and body balms marketed as plant-based. Generally well tolerated.
