Lower Heat Comfort

Pure and natural ingredients

The sugar paste we use is made solely of sugar, water, and citric acid. It's all-natural (and even edible!). Because there are no harsh chemicals and no chemicals can be added to the sugar paste, this is an excellent option for those with sensitive skin, those who are prone to skin irritation, or simply those who advocate for a more natural approach to life.

Low temperature

Sugar paste is only warmed to about body temperature, which results in no risk of burning the skin. For some people, there can be added irritation on the skin due to the heat of the wax. Therefore, sugaring, you rule out any possible additional irritation from the heat.

Easier clean up

Since sugar paste only contains sugar, water, and citric acid, it is water-soluble. This means that it can be cleaned very easily and that leads to less sticky residue!

Sugar doesn't adhere to live skin cells

Since sugar paste is water-soluble, it won't stick to live skin cells because of the high water content. Leaving the live skin cells intact, means less irritation for your beautiful skin. Sugaring leaves skin feeling soft and smooth!

Sugaring is faster

Wax needs some time to harden in order to be removed properly. Sugar does not require this time. Sugar is simply applied and removed immediately. This makes a sugaring appointment more time effective.

More Hygienic by Design

One application, one service. Sugaring reduces the risk of contamination and naturally resists bacterial growth.

Sugaring is even more sanitary

Only one ball of sugar is used throughout the service, reducing contamination risk. The high sugar content also helps prevent bacterial growth.

Sugaring causes less breakage

Sugaring removes hair in its natural direction of growth, helping reduce breakage and leaving skin smoother for longer.

Sugaring removes very short hair

Sugar paste can grip shorter hairs than traditional wax, allowing for effective hair removal between appointments.
