It is derived from the leaves of a small shrub native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. It was originally used to make candles which is where it got its name candelilla, meaning little candle. But do you know why it is getting the applause it is in the skincare arena? We got you all the deets about this unsung hero for ageing and nourishing the skin in the best and most cruelty-free way possible! Read on to know more.

Even though they have many of the same beneficial properties, the main difference is that candelilla is a vegan wax, whereas beeswax is considered to be an animal byproduct. Candelilla wax is also harder than beeswax and typically melts faster under high temperatures. Candelilla wax is hypoallergenic, which makes it ideal for people with pollen, bees or honey allergy. Candelilla wax is used for formulating animal-free, cruelty-free products that naturally shield the skin from harmful environmental stressors.
