Light-S Candelilla Real

This is a specialized candelilla wax that undergoes a meticulous filtering and bleaching process. Setting it apart from other varieties, this wax presents itself in a powder form, with an average particle size distribution ensuring that at least 45% passes through a 60-mesh sieve. Renowned for its exceptional hardness and resistance to wear and tear, this wax outperforms even carnauba wax in providing an effective moisture barrier, thanks to its high hydrocarbon content. Its composition primarily comprises hydrocarbons (50-57%), esters (28-29%), alcohols, sterols, and resins (12-14%), along with free acids (7-9%). This product holds recognition from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe and natural substance, classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). This acknowledgment underscores its suitability for application within the food industry, owing to its vegetable origin and its unique properties that bestow protection and consistency.

This product is candelilla wax subjected to a filtering and bleaching process, presented in powder form with an average particle size distribution such that a minimum of 45% passes through 60 mesh. It is highly recognized for its high hardness and resistance to wear and tear, similar to carnauba wax, but it outperforms carnauba wax in imparting a moisture barrier due to its high hydrocarbon content.

It is a refined wax product that undergoes additional filtering to eliminate impurities and water content. Additionally, it undergoes a bleaching step, resulting in a light yellow color in the final product.
