Candelilla Wax Cosmetic Grade-CAS 8006-44-8
Candelilla Wax is a high-quality natural plant wax extracted and refined from Candelilla shrub native to North America. It is a classic cosmetic functional wax material with balanced hardness, toughness and flexibility, superior to beeswax and carnauba wax in comprehensive performance.
The product has excellent oil-phase thickening and gelling effects, which can effectively adjust the viscosity and molding hardness of oil-based formulas, prevent lipstick and lip gloss from melting and deforming at high temperature, and improve product shape retention.
It has outstanding emulsion stabilizing performance, which can inhibit the stratification and precipitation of emulsified systems, significantly improve the stability of cream and lotion formulas.
In addition, it can effectively enhance the surface gloss of cosmetics, bring delicate and full texture, and has good skin softening and moisturizing effects. With pure natural ingredients, mild and non-irritating, no peculiar smell, fully compliant with global cosmetic safety standards, it is an indispensable core raw material for high-grade lip makeup, styling and emulsified skin care formulas.
Key Benefits
• Excellent Molding & Shaping Performance: Moderate hardness and strong toughness, effectively improve the high-temperature melting resistance of lip cosmetics, maintain stable shape and no deformation.
• Powerful Thickening & Gelling Effect: Precisely adjust oil-phase viscosity, optimize formula texture, make the product texture compact and delicate, avoid loose and greasy texture.
• Super Emulsion Stabilization: Improve the compatibility of oil-water mixed system, prevent stratification and precipitation, greatly extend the shelf life of emulsified products.
• Natural Gloss Enhancement: Effectively enhance the surface luster of cosmetics, present natural and full texture, improve product grade and appearance texture.
