Waxes & Honey

 

CANDELILLA WAX

Candelilla wax emanates from the Euphorbia Antisyphillitica tree and Pedilanthus Pavonis (slipper plant) and is predominant in most parts of Mexico. It has high ester, fatty acid, and resin properties and is a vegan alternative to traditional beeswax. Stability - Shelf Life should be approximately 60 months if stored away from light and heat (15C/59F - 25C/77F) 

CARNAUBA WAX

One of the hardest existing cosmetic waxes, this wax is taken from the Brazilian palm tree Copernicia prunifera. Carnauba wax is thick and possesses a high melting point of around 180-185 degrees. It is primarily used in furniture waxes, lipsticks, and cosmetic recipes, which require a formidable barrier agent. Our Carnauba is certified organic, golden in color, and comes in flake form.

CRUELTY-FREE BEESWAX

(Female) worker honeybees produce naturally derived beeswax. The wax is secreted from wax glands on the underside of the bee's abdomen and is molded into six-sided cells which are filled with honey, then capped with more wax. Our Coastal Classic Creations® line of beeswax comes from a local beekeeper on the coast of California. Our beeswax contains no fillers, synthetics, debris, or foreign fragrances.
