The Tress Wellness "Sensitive" formula is a high-grade synthetic polymer wax based on Glyceryl Rosinate that prioritizes low-temperature melting to support sensitive skin maintenance. While designed for reactive skin, the inclusion of paraffin and specific colorants suggests a patch test for users.
Formula Analysis
The core of this formula is Glyceryl Rosinate, which provides adhesion to short hairs without the mechanical trauma associated with traditional waxes. The addition of Cera Alba and Paraffin creates a flexible film that encapsulates the hair, reducing the force required for extraction and maintaining the skin surface condition.
Usage Data
The wax must reach a honey-like consistency to maximize efficacy. Applying while too fluid may affect the skin barrier, while too thick results in uneven application.
- Thermal Safety: Low melting point reduces the incidence of heat-related surface irritation.
- Flexibility: Polymer properties prevent cracking during use.
- Broad Utility: Effective on both coarse and fine vellus hair.
