Synthetic candelilla wax is a synthetic product made from alkyl esters, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and alkanes, whose composition is based on candelilla wax (a wax obtained from the leaves and stems of the candelilla bush, native to Mexico and the southern USA).
The synthetic wax acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) and as an emulsion stabilizer (supports the formation of emulsions and improves the resistance and durability of emulsions).
