A good fit for at-home users, travelers and mobile estheticians who want tea tree soft wax without needing a separate wax heater. It's formulated for short hair and sensitive skin, so it suits fine-to-medium hair types best, with coarser hair better served by a hard wax.

This is the tea tree formula for anyone who values convenience over a dedicated wax pot setup, whether that's a mobile esthetician working from a kit or someone waxing at home occasionally. It keeps the same soothing, antiseptic tea tree benefit as Sharonelle's heater-based tea tree waxes, just in a container built for the microwave.

1. Open the container and place it in the microwave.
2. Heat until completely melted and only lukewarm, stirring for even consistency.
3. Test the wax on a small area for a comfortable temperature.
4. Cleanse the area to be treated.
5. Apply a thin layer of wax with a spatula in the direction of hair growth.
6. Press a cloth or paper strip onto the waxed area and rub firmly in the direction of hair growth.
7. Stretch the skin taut and pull the strip off quickly against the direction of hair growth.
8. Apply an after-wax soothing lotion once finished.

Pros:

• Microwave-ready, no wax heater required, which suits travel or occasional use
• Tea tree oil offers mild antiseptic, soothing benefits post-wax
• Low melt temperature and clean strip release

Cons:

• Microwave heating is less consistent than a thermostat-controlled heater, so overheating is easier to do by accident
• Still requires cloth or paper strips
• Best for short, fine-to-medium hair rather than dense or coarse growth
