Nautica Kahlwax 6702 is a natural, animal-free wax blend supplied as yellow pellets and designed as a substitute for candelilla wax in cosmetic formulations. It combines selected plant-based waxes and resin to provide structure and performance in wax-based products, especially lip care and colour cosmetics. This makes it useful for formulators who want a vegan wax option without relying on candelilla itself. It is a cosmetic raw material for formulation use rather than a finished product.
♡ Why we love it: A good wax substitute can make formulation much more flexible, and Kahlwax 6702 is especially appealing for vegan makers who want a dependable plant-based option. It is particularly useful in lip care and other texture-driven formulas where structure really matters.
Also available in Sample Sizes.

For Your Safety

I felt like making some vegan salves and had to get my hands on some Kahl wax, as getting my hands on Candelilla wax was a bit harder. It's a great replacement and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make a plant-based formulated that replaces beeswax with a vegan alternative.
Use this as a replacement for beeswax in my balms. Perfect consistency! Love how my products turned out!
Great product
