Why are Your Wax Formulas Important?
When going into a waxing appointment, your clients want to know that they’re not only about receiving the best hair removal but that they’ll have the most comfortable experience possible. After all, without the best formula or right technique, waxing can be irritating or painful - especially for those with sensitive skin types.
When shopping around for waxing products to add to your salon’s repertoire, you should of course look for formulas that work for a variety of skin and hair types, and look out for specific specialty formulas that will work for clients with sensitivities or skin that’s prone to inflammation.
So what should you be looking for when it comes to formula offerings? You should look for a variety of go-to formulas that can handle both large application areas and that work on a range of skin types. Look for one or two specialty formulas, depending on the client volume you serve both in general and how many clients you serve with sensitive skin.
Some of the best formulas for general services include Starpil’s Stripless Blue Film Hard Wax, which is formulated for perfect use on large areas and allows those with normal skin types to enjoy amazing results. For smaller areas or those with both normal and sensitive skin, Stripless Pink Film Hard Wax is another great go-to, especially for intimate or facial waxing.
For specialty formulas, Starpil’s Starsoft and Calendula Hard Wax formulas are made with hypersensitive skin, or those prone to inflammation or acne after waxing.
Our Vegan Hard Wax formula is also perfect for those with sensitive skin or who are looking for waxing without the use of animal products.
Using the right waxing formulas for your clients makes all the difference in providing them with the best hair removal and in keeping their skin in its best condition. Using high-quality waxes that are easy to work with and are suited specifically to your clients’ skin types will allow your entire service to be a win-win for both them and you!

Though the ingredients in our previous section are used throughout our product lineups to provide a little extra boost to the skin throughout the waxing process, there are some particular heavy-hitting ingredients that we haven’t touched on yet.

Used in our Vegan formulas, this anti-inflammatory ingredient is also loaded with antioxidants to hydrate and calm skin.
- Vitamin E
Found in our Starsoft waxes and pre & post-wax care products, Vitamin E brings users benefits in the form of hydrating and brightening skin. Vitamin E is also used in these formulas to promote healing and skin repair post-wax.
Chamomile contains many antioxidants that calm and soothe redness, inflammation, and acne, and even provide anti-aging benefits, which makes it a key ingredient in our Vegan wax formulas.

A keystone of our Stripless Pink Film Hard Wax, titanium dioxide eliminates irritation and inflammation that those with sensitive skin can experience during the waxing process.
- Barley Extract
This extract contains mild exfoliating properties and antioxidants that work to calm and prepare skin for waxing through our Original Pre-Wax Gel.
