Instructions

Storage Guidelines

  • Pick a clean, dry, heat-safe jar with a tight lid, preferably glass.
  • Wash and dry the jar completely before filling it to avoid moisture.
  • Use clean tools every time, avoiding double dipping.
  • Label the jar with the date to keep track of freshness.

Storage Conditions

  • Store sugar wax at room temperature in a cool cupboard, away from heat sources.
  • If you live in a warm or humid environment, store sugar wax in the fridge, but expect it to be firmer.
  • Ensure the lid is only screwed on after the wax has cooled to room temperature.

Preventing Spoilage

  • Scoop only what you need into a small bowl to keep the main batch clean.
  • Avoid storing the wax in the bathroom due to humidity.
  • Don't reheat the entire jar; reheat only what you need gently.

Signs of Spoilage

  • Check for off smells such as sour or funky odors before using.
  • Visible mold means the wax should be thrown away.
  • If the wax has major separation, it's a sign it may be spoiled.
  • Use your senses to determine if the wax is still usable or not.

Notes

Avoid constant reheating and always test the temperature on your wrist before application. If you use it on your skin, treat it as a short-term batch.
