Pale yellow disc pellets. Higher melting point than beeswax (68–73°C). Vegan. Used as a beeswax substitute in lip balms and cosmetics, and as a hardener in candle and lotion bar formulations. Typical usage: 10–25% in lip balm; 5–10% as a candle hardener additive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYellow Beeswax — 100g ($35.38)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNatural, unbleached yellow beeswax pellets with a characteristic honey scent. Melt point approximately 62–65°C. Used in pillar candles, taper candles, container candles, lip balm, lotion bars, wood polish, and soap. The warm amber-yellow color and natural honey fragrance make it a popular choice for natural and artisan products. Typical usage: 100% for beeswax pillar candles; 10–30% as a hardener in soy or paraffin blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Beeswax — 100g ($35.38)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFiltered and bleached beeswax pellets — the same wax as yellow beeswax but with the natural color and most of the honey scent removed. Melt point approximately 62–65°C. Preferred for white or lightly colored candles, unscented products, cosmetics, and formulations where a neutral color is required.

Adding a small amount of candelilla wax raises the melt point of the blend, firms up the finished candle, reduces frosting in soy wax, and improves overall performance without significantly affecting scent throw or burn quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended starting ratios:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoy wax + candelilla:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93–95% soy wax + 5–7% candelilla wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoconut wax + candelilla:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92–95% coconut wax + 5–8% candelilla wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStart at 5% and increase by 1–2% at a time until you reach the firmness you want. Staying under 10% is recommended — too much candelilla wax can make the candle brittle and prone to cracking, and may cause uneven burning. Melt the candelilla wax first (it has the higher melt point), then add your soy or coconut wax and combine fully before adding fragrance at the appropriate temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis technique is particularly useful for container candles used in warm climates, summer products, or candles that need to hold their shape during shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is candelilla wax used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCandelilla wax is a popular vegan alternative to beeswax in lip balms, lipsticks, and cosmetics. Because it is harder than beeswax, you typically use roughly half the amount — about 10–15% in lip balm formulations where you would use 20–30% beeswax. It is also used as a hardener additive in candle and lotion bar formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between yellow and white beeswax?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYellow beeswax is natural and unbleached — it retains its characteristic amber color and honey scent. White beeswax is the same wax that has been filtered and bleached to remove the color and most of the scent. Both have the same melt point and perform identically. Choose yellow for natural, rustic, or honey-scented products; choose white for unscented, lightly colored, or cosmetic formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use these waxes for candle making?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — both yellow and white beeswax are excellent candle waxes for pillar, taper, and container candles. Beeswax burns cleanly, slowly, and with a naturally warm glow. Candelilla wax is better used as a hardener additive (5–10%) rather than as a standalone candle wax due to its very high melt point and brittle texture at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these waxes skin-safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — all three are widely used in cosmetic and skincare formulations and are considered skin-safe. Beeswax and candelilla wax are common ingredients in lip balms, lotions, creams, and hair care products. Always patch-test formulations before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShop More Candle Making Supplies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-wax\"\u003eCandle Wax\u003c\/a\u003e, browse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-making-supplies\"\u003eCandle Making Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e, shop \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-molds\"\u003eCandle Molds\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-making\"\u003eCandle Making\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Crafty Corner","offers":[{"title":"Candelilla Wax","offer_id":48702287577282,"sku":"14:200006151#100g Wax A","price":54.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Beeswax","offer_id":48702287478978,"sku":"14:200006153#100g Wax C","price":35.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Beeswax","offer_id":48702287511746,"sku":"14:200006155#100g Wax D","price":35.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/2700\/0258\/files\/Scf1e92d258004e589cd211f0f0d0608cv.webp?v=1788116816","url":"https:\/\/mycraftycorner.com\/products\/100g-organic-candelilla-wax-pellets-natural-euphorbia-wax-diy-raw-material-for-lip-balm-candle-soap-skincare-making","provider":"My Crafty Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
