THE STORY OF CHEMKG CANDELILLA
Chemkg Candelilla: The Vegan Structuring Wax with Natural Gloss
Chemkg Candelilla is a plant-derived, hard vegetable wax obtained from the leaves of the Euphorbia antisyphilitica shrub. It is widely used as a thickener, film-former, stabilizer and glossy payoff enhancer in balms, lipsticks, mascaras, and solid skincare. A popular vegan alternative to beeswax with higher hardness and low melting profile.
Harvested from Desert Shrubs, Refined into High-Purity Wax
Native to Northern Mexico and Texas, the leaves of the candelilla plant are boiled in water with lime to release wax, which is then filtered, bleached and pelletized into cosmetic-grade form. TRCkem supplies NF/Pharma-grade and cosmetic-grade candelilla wax with controlled acid value, color, and melt range.
