Candelilla Is a plant with slender, waxy gray-green stems. After rains, the stems are covered with tiny Flowers in shades of beige and pink. Candelilla grows in upright group / clumps of stems. Candelilla is a natural substance obtained from the coating of the Euphorbia Cerifera plant or also known as the "wax slipper plant" or from the wild growing herbacious plant family Euphorbica Antisyphilitica. Candelilla wax is obtained by boiling the plant (which allows the wax to separate from the plant material). As the wax floats up to the surface, it is skimmed off and processed, making it suitable as a Vegan thickening option. Candelilla is often used as a thickener, emulsifier or stiffening agent in various cosmetics, as well as other uses such as polishing furniture and carvings. Candelilla wax is known for its excellent oil binding, high gloss, remarkable hardness and faint smell. It is safe to use on skin and is most commonly used in the production of lipsticks.
