Koster Keunen Candelilla Wax
Candelilla is a vegetable wax found in great quantities in North-western Mexico and Southern Texas. Candelilla is extracted from the shrub Euphorbia Cerifera by boiling the shrub, and skimming off the resultant wax. The raw material comes to Koster Keunen in lump form and is refined to a light yellow color. We offer a variety of grades of Candelilla to fit any application.
