Making Hard Wax at Home

If you are interested in creating a hard wax for hair removal, you will need a few key ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • Rosin: 4 parts - This provides the wax with its grip and hardening properties.
  • Beeswax: 1 part - This makes the wax pliable and easy to mold.
  • Oil (Olive or Coconut): A small amount - This helps moisturize the skin and adds to the wax's flexibility.

Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients: Mix the rosin, beeswax, and a small amount of oil in a heat-safe container. The ratio should generally be four parts rosin to one part beeswax.
  2. Melt the Ingredients: Heat the mixture until fully melted. This can be done using a double boiler or a microwave, using short bursts of time and stirring in between to prevent burning.
  3. Cool and Test: Allow the wax to cool slightly before testing a small amount on your skin to ensure it's not too hot and has the right consistency.
  4. Application: Hard wax can be melted in a warmer for 15 to 20 minutes on the high setting. Always test a small area for temperature.
  5. Storage: Store the remaining wax in an airtight container for future use.
