Click Here To View 3 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer You could but I would recommend Coca Butter rather than beeswax. Beeswax will change the feel of your body butter and adding too much candellila wax will leave a tacky waxy feel on the skin. Add the cocoa butter in small amounts until you reach a consistency you are happy with.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: June 26, 2014

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

I am currently using a mix of water, shea butter and coconut oil, will cocoa butter be a better mix to stay solidified?

Posted By: Nan | Date: June 27, 2014

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

I would opt to use Mango Butter or Coco Butter and maybe just a hint of Candellila wax. The Mango and Coco will melt slightly but will hold a lot better than Candellila. Also, try using two teaspoons of arrowroot powder, it helps keep the form of your butter and can be found at health food stores like WholesFood. Hope this helps and let me know the progress. Happy Creating!!!

COMMENTS: Was thrilled to discover WSP carries Candelilla wax! I use it in my solid perfumes as a vegan alternative to beeswax & it's an outstanding product! Because this is such a hard wax, the amount required in my solid perfume recipe is half that of beeswax, so a little goes a long way! Comes in flakes, so is very easy to weigh out & melt down. Will continue to purchase this wax from WSP as the price is great too!

"Great Substitute for Beeswax!"

COMMENTS: I had been looking around for an alternative wax to use to keep products vegan friendly. Stumbling upon Candelilla Wax was the perfect option! It kept my balms stiff, especially in this very hot summer weather. I was concerned about it not keeping the balms shape while also possibly being too harsh to use. It ended up being perfect with my recipe tweaking! Will continue to use this product for future balms!

"Great Vegan Alternative to Beeswax"

COMMENTS: Switched to this wax from beeswax, in order to provide a vegan lotion bar option to clients. You cannot 1:1 substitute your candelilla for your beeswax, you do have to experiment with the ratios. It's a harder wax in general, and gives a lot less drag on the lotion bars compared to beeswax. The glide was smooth and slick. The wax also gives a shiny appearance to the surface of the butters, something that wasn't there with beeswax. The only negative, and the reason for not giving it all 5 stars-- there is an odor. It is ever so slightly smokey to me, but not everybody is able to detect it-- in fact most could not. Overall it was not a show-stopping issue, and the clients were pleased with the product.

"Must Have"

COMMENTS: I love this wax. I will not make a lip balm or gloss without some of this. I replace up to 25% of beeswax with this wax. It gives the whatever your making a smoother glide.

COMMENTS: I purchased this wax in place of the beeswax to put in my products due to people having beeswax allergy. So i did my research and found that this candellila is the best to use for allergies and vegans in the community. Even thought it has a higher melting point it still performs great and holds its shape well!

"I love this wax!!!"

COMMENTS: I bought this wax and thought I would have it to use as a vegan alternative. And then I was running low on beeswax and had to substitute it in. Well, as it turns out, I liked using it much more than the beeswax! I only need half as much and there is no odor like you can get from the beeswax. The product is wonderful. I especially like using it in my lip scrub an now my lotion bar stick. So, if you are hesitant to try it, don't be... it is great.

"Great product"

COMMENTS: I needed the Candellila Wax for a couple of recipes and they turned out great. I had some of this wax from another vendor but now will only use WSP's. WSP's Candellila is more finely shredded and has a better feel and texture. I used this in the cuticle cream and the lotion heel recipes and they turned out very smooth and creamy with a nice glide. Look forward to using this in more products.

	"Candelilla Wax"
COMMENTS: Perfect substitute for beeswax...but be aware that you need to test your recipe as you may only need to use half the amount of wax when replacing beeswax with Candelilla. It's a harder or brittle wax, but perfect for vegan customers. Lip balms are nice and spreadable and soft on the lips..not a heavy waxy feeling. Used also in lotions at a low percent...this gave the heavier body cream a bit more "staying power" and protection from the elements. Leaves no odor, but it is yellow the the color is a bit whitish-yellowish depending on your lotion or lip balm recipe.
