LIGHT-S CANDELILLA REAL®7806 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%). 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.
