Beauty Waxes (Depilatory)
Depilatory wax in the hot melt form is used in the Beauty industry to remove unwanted body hair. However, by its nature it also acts as an exfoliant removing dead and rough skin cells so leaving the skin smoother and softer. This wax comes in either a natural or an Apricot colour or can be made to any colour or fragrance as the customer requires.
Manicure - Pedicure Wax
This specially formulated low melt wax is used as a soothing and relaxing process prior to treatment of the feet or hands. After the manicure/pedicure wax is heated the hand or foot is immersed into the wax, creating a wax glove over the skin. This procedure is repeated several times, each time the heat from the wax penetrates and relaxes the body part. Unlike water and oil preparations this formulation will maintain the heat value for much longer. The preparation totally encapsulates the hand or foot for an overall relaxing feeling. When the wax glove is removed it also takes the dead skin cells with it, leaving the skin renewed and silky smooth. This manicure/pedicure wax is available in three different types - each with an essential oil for therapeutic qualities:
1. Lavender Essential Oil - promotes growth of new cells and relieves any skin inflammation
2. Peppermint Essential Oil - cools and softens the skin
3. Orange Essential Oil - tones and relieves dry skin, wrinkles and dermatitis
These three variants are available in a 550 gram block.
