Bonding Wax

A: Candle wax is a covalently bonded compound. In contrast, paraffin wax has linear chains of carbon atoms, but only weak van der Waals forces to hold the molecules together.

A: DSC analysis, or Differential Scanning Calorimetry, is a test that measures the amount of heat that is required to increase the temperature of the wax substance, which can then be used to interpret the melt point of a wax. These are just a few of the tests used to maintain proper quality throughout all wax products.

A: Your wax will keep its strong fragrance and rich colour. Having very high quality ingredients also ensures that waxes are more likely to be suitable for all skin types, including dry, sensitive or reactive skin.

A: There are two different types: soft wax and hard wax. Although both do a good job of removing hair from the follicle, hard wax is better for smaller, more sensitive areas like your bikini line. Soft wax, on the other hand, is a better option for larger areas like your legs.

A: Composition: Waxes are esters composed of a long-chain alcohol and a long-chain fatty acid. Typically, both the alcohol and the fatty acid are long, saturated hydrocarbon chains. The ester bond forms between the -OH group of the alcohol and the -COOH group of the fatty acid.
