Natura-Tec VCA Wax serves as a plant-based substitute for Candelilla wax, boasting remarkable oil-binding capabilities in cosmetic formulations. When compared to Candelilla wax, it demonstrates equivalent performance, maintaining matching oil binding capacity and demolding properties in lip products. Additionally, it delivers consistent results with identical shine, coverage, and tactile characteristics such as stickiness and greasiness in lipstick formulations, along with an indistinguishable cracking index in both lip balms and lipsticks.
