Refined Candelilla Wax 27

Candelilla wax, a vegetable wax, is found in the form of scales entirely covering a reed like plant which grows wild and in great abundance on the rocky slopes and plains of Northwestern Mexico. It is pale yellow, hard, brittle, slightly tacky and lustrous wax with a distinctive odor. This wax is not as hard as Carnauba, and does not reach its maximum hardness for several days after cooling. It is compatible with all vegetable and animal waxes, fatty acids, a large variety of natural and synthetic resins, glycerides, hydrocarbons (in certain proportions).
