Paraffin Wax
Paraffin Wax
Hands are dipped in melted paraffin wax for softening and moisturizing.This type of wax can be heated to temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit without burning or injuring the hand.
The intense heat allows for deeper absorption or emollients and essential oils.
It is usually infused with botanical ingredients such as aloe vera, chamomile, tea tree oil and azulene.
Fruit waxes are often used in salons.
Hands are dipped more than once to allow a thicker wax coat to form, allowing the coat to stay warm for longer and less likely to break or tear prematurely.
Then the hands are wrapped in either plastic, aluminum foil, or a special type of plastic bag or glove, then covered with towel or special mitten to retain warmth.
