Is it really carnauba?

Carnauba used to be one ingredient - it gives a higher shine. Since
we started to care about eating fruit coated with furniture polish,
the shops have toned down the shininess of it. Some was candelilla
instead of carnauba as this is even harder and shinier. They're both
still used on some sweets or pills.

I believe it's sprayed on as a water emulsion, heated to keep it
flowing.
