waxy
When describing physical objects or plants, "waxy" is often neutral or descriptive. In botany, it refers to the cuticle of a leaf, which is a functional adaptation. In a culinary context, it can describe the texture of certain potatoes or the artificial sheen on produce, where it may carry a slightly negative connotation of being "processed" or "unnatural."
When applied to human skin, "waxy" is almost always negative. It suggests a lack of vitality, blood flow, or life. It is closely associated with illness, shock, or death, evoking the image of a corpse or a wax museum figure. This differs from "pale," which can be a temporary state (like being scared), whereas "waxy" implies a deeper, more unnatural lifelessness.
