Sustainably harvested from northern Mexico, these beads are made from renewable plant wax that supports local desert ecosystems and provides an ethical alternative to petrochemical exfoliants.

Candelilla Beads are natural, biodegradable exfoliating beads made from sustainably harvested Candelilla Wax, derived from the Euphorbia cerifera shrub native to northern Mexico. These gentle wax beads serve as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic microbeads, offering effective yet mild exfoliation suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Their smooth, rounded shape helps polish away dead skin cells without causing microtears, leaving the skin soft, radiant, and refreshed.
