Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing:

Our Sugarcane Wax is a derivative (secondary) product that is produced during the sugar refinement process.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) has not evaluated Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum cera), most likely because it is so abundant.
