OUR ProduCt
Candelilla Wax
Candelilla wax is obtained from the leaves of the candelilla shrub (Euphorbia cerifera and Euphorbia antisyphilitica) native to northern Mexico. This vegetable wax is hard, brittle, and has a yellow to light brown color.
World debut: COSMOS certified candelilla wax for organic products
Together with our partner Multiceras, Norevo is currently the only supplier to offer COSMOS certified candelilla wax within the EU – an exciting opportunity to complement your organic recipe.
Origin
Candelilla wax is harvested in northern Mexico; however, the bushy plant also grows in parts of the United States. The leaves of the candelilla shrub are cut by candelilleros, leaving only their roots in the soil. Subsequently, the plants will need three years to completely regenerate.
Sustainability
Norevo exclusively sources candelilla wax from producers who strictly adhere to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in their procurement activities.
