This unique blend with discreet, neutral scent and light yellowish cream color is designed as a natural and vegan beeswax alternative. It is a moderate hard wax, which is deformable at skin temperature with excellent oil binding capacity, and adhesiveness to skin and hair, very similar to beeswax.
Typical applications of KahlWax 2225 Phyto are rich W/O emulsions, stick preparations, and hot poured products like hair wax, cream blush, mascara, and anhydrous lip and body butters. It should be noted that equal substitution of beeswax may lead to a harder product, so adjustments may be necessary.

This double-filtered, high-quality wax is obtained from the wild-growing shrub of the Euphorbia Antisyphilitica family, native to Mexico. Candelilla wax is very adhesive, has a good oil binding capacity, creates very hard oleogels, and is easy to work with. It is more brittle than beeswax and less hard than carnauba wax.
Candelilla wax is traditionally used to harden stick formulations and other hot poured products. It is the wax with the highest shrinkage/contraction capacity, which eases demolding from metal molds.
