This wax is aimed at estheticians and home waxers who already have a wax heater/warmer, since it needs to be melted to a lukewarm working temperature before use — it is not a pre-heated or no-heat product. The zinc oxide formulation is specifically positioned for sensitive, dehydrated, or easily irritated skin, and for coarse or curly hair on both facial and body areas. It is not intended for anyone waxing over broken skin, sunburn, moles, or warts.

The main reason to reach for this over a standard soft wax is the zinc oxide: it is added specifically to calm skin during the waxing process, so clients or areas that tend to redden or sting with regular strip wax have an easier time with this formula, without moving to a slower, more expensive hard wax.

• Melt the wax in a heater until fully liquid, then let it cool to a lukewarm working temperature, stirring for even consistency, and test it before applying
• Cleanse the area with a pre-wax cleansing gel, then use a spatula to apply a thin layer in the direction of hair growth
• Press a cotton or non-woven strip firmly over the waxed area, rubbing in the direction of hair growth
• Hold the skin taut and pull the strip back quickly against the direction of hair growth
• Finish with an after-wax soothing lotion; avoid pimples, moles, warts, sunburn, or inflamed skin

• Pro: zinc oxide is included specifically to reduce redness and irritation, making this a reasonable pick for sensitive or reactive skin
• Pro: low melting point means less time heating and a lower risk of the wax being too hot on delicate areas
• Con: requires a separate wax heater and strips — it cannot be used straight from the can or peeled off by hand
• Con: not suitable for use over pimples, moles, warts, sunburned, or already-inflamed skin
