What is Roll-On Wax ?
Roll-on wax is a waxing system that allows direct application to the skin through its a single-use, recyclable, and portable wax cartridge. When heated in a roll-on wax warmer, the cartridge distributes soft wax to the application area directly, without the use of spatulas or a traditional warmer.
The system’s 3.9 oz (110 g) roll-on wax cartridge is pre-filled with Starpil soft wax to create the most portable, easy-to-use, and hygienic waxing experience. The single-use cartridge is made for full services on one client only and is fully recyclable.
The roll-on wax cartridge itself is constructed out of a heat-mediating shell of hard plastic, topped by a roller head and a cap. This design makes it ideal for at-home users who might want to reuse their cartridge (since it’s just for them!). In professional settings, roll-on wax cartridges should never be reused and are intended for single uses on one client only.
The roll-on wax roller head distributes wax evenly over any surface, and makes full-body waxing quick and easy, especially over large surface areas like the back.
