Carnauba wax is from carnauba palms (Copernicia prunifera) that grow in Northern Brazil. The word "camauba" happens when someone sees an "r" and an "n" close together and think it is an "m" instead of an "rn" combination. Because of this, the word "camauba" is not found in any dictionary or encyclopedia unless there is a typo. (Or if the page has been scanned and the "rn" becomes an "m" during the scanning.) You will find "camauba" where people have mis-copied the word. Both words refer to the same type of wax.

What is the wax feeling on fruits from the store?
It's a natural wax (which is, of course, non-petroleum based) called carnauba wax. It's common to use wax in various foods including cheese and chocolate. Apples, for example, are not waxed for cosmetic reasons, but actually, the wax helps it keep firm and juicy, and protected from the penetration of bacteria. Basically, the carnauba is a replacement for the apple's own natural wax, which it produces on its own, but gets washed off when the farmers clean it. The carnauba wax is then applied to mimic the apple's own natural wax-- keeping the good stuff in, and the bad stuff out.
