Candelilla wax

Description

Fábrica Torrejana’s Candelilla Wax is carefully produced from selected plant sources using advanced refining techniques to ensure purity, consistency, and optimal performance. The refined wax has a light yellow to golden color, neutral odor, and smooth texture, making it highly versatile across different applications.

Candelilla Wax is naturally rich in hydrocarbons, esters, and free acids, which provide excellent film-forming, binding, and stabilizing properties. In cosmetic formulations, it is widely used in lipsticks, balms, creams, and lotions to improve texture, hardness, and sheen while enhancing product stability. It also acts as an effective emulsifying agent in various creams and ointments.

In food applications, Candelilla Wax is often used as a glazing agent, coating for confectionery, and natural stabilizer. Its high melting point and glossy finish make it an attractive natural alternative to synthetic waxes. The wax also has applications in candles, polishes, coatings, and industrial formulations, providing durability and smooth surface finishes.

Fábrica Torrejana ensures full traceability, batch consistency, and technical documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and compliance certificates to support professional use and export requirements.
