Soft / Strip Wax
Soft wax is applied warm using an applicator stick, spread in a thin layer in the direction of hair growth, and removed with a paper or cloth strip. Fast and efficient, it is the most widely used professional waxing format, particularly for larger areas including legs, chest, and back. Many of our formulations are gentle enough for use across the full body, including the bikini line and underarm.
Read MoreWe supply soft wax in a range of base formulations to suit different skin types, salon applications, and brand positioning:
Clear, honey, and gel formulations — classic warm wax, ideal for traditional professional use.
Creme formulations — opaque finish using titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Easier to see during application and typically applied in a thinner layer, which can improve depilation results.
Semi-creme with mica — a premium shimmer effect for brands looking for a more distinctive, high-end aesthetic.
Formulations are available in natural resin base or fully synthetic options. We use responsibly sourced resins from trusted supply partners, and many are stabilised using our own unique methods, delivering consistent performance and long shelf life batch after batch.
All formulations can be coloured, fragranced, and enhanced with a wide range of additives, essential oils, and skin conditioning agents.
Many marketing claims are achievable, including hypoallergenic, allergen free, vegan, natural, and we can work with you to ensure your formulation meets your brief.
Formats: plastic jars, metal tins, roller cartridges, plastic tubes — in all shapes and all sizes

HARD / HOT / FILM WAX
Hard wax (also known as hot, film, peelable or stripless wax) are available as hard wax beans or blocks. The wax is molten, then applied warm, spread in a thin layer, and peeled off the skin once set. No strip is needed. The wax wraps around the hair and supports the skin during removal, making treatment more comfortable for the client and easier for the user. Hard wax has grown significantly in popularity and is now a favourite in professional salons globally.
Read MoreWe have the largest range of hard wax base formulations available from any manufacturer.
Some are developed for small, high-detail areas such as the face, bikini line, and underarm. Others are formulated for large-area application, removing cleanly in a single piece without breaking.
Our range includes traditional hard waxes, film, hot and stripless wax, Brazilian grades, 5th generation multi-directional waxes, and fully synthetic allergen-free options.
