Waxing is a useful technique for removing unwanted hair from the body.

 

Until a few years ago, there was only organic/natural wax available in the market. A more recent addition to the depilatory industry is the Synthetic wax. It can be difficult to decide between the two, as each offers a variety of advantages. To assist you in making a decision, we will examine the distinctions between Synthetic and Organic/Natural wax in this blog.

 

Synthetic Wax (Specifically Jax Wax)

One kind of wax is called synthetic wax, which is created using paraffin, micro wax, and synthetic resins. It is a popular choice for people in a hurry due to its simple application, low melting temperature and quick drying characteristics. Synthetic based wax like Jax Wax is more advanced.

Added BENEFITS of synthetic wax:

  1. Gentle on the skin – suitable for people with sensitive skin
  2. Hypoallergenic – does not contain Pine Resin that may cause irritation and allergies
  3. Low melting temperature – will not burn the skin
  4. Economical – spreads thinner
  5. Not tested on animals – cruelty free

Organic/Natural Wax

Organic/Natural wax is produced using organic materials like honey, beeswax, Soy, Sugar, Beeswax and Pine Rosin.  Organic/Natural wax is made of biodegradable materials, some are water soluble. Due to its organic/natural properties, it may cause allergic reactions, as naturally sourced product’s quality varies from season to season, time of harvest and where it is harvested from.

Organic wax’s BENEFITS include:

  1. Water Soluble and made of biodegradable materials.
  2. Widely available and accessible in the market.
  3. Traditional wax that the market is more familiar with.

In conclusion, both organic and synthetic wax offer special advantages of their own. While organic wax is more environmentally friendly, synthetic wax is friendlier to the skin, not tested on animals and cruelty free. The decision between synthetic and organic wax ultimately comes down to your individual demands and tastes.
