I compare two film waxes — one from Shoppers and one from the Italian brand Italwax. Both contain Glyceryl Rosinate and Ethylene VA Copolymer, meaning they are a mix of natural and synthetic ingredients. They melted at the same time and have a similar texture.
As a result, Italwax removes more hair on the first application, while the supermarket wax fails to remove the hair even after three applications.
Buying wax from a supermarket is not cost-effective — it’s expensive and the quantity is small.
Also, without proper knowledge, you can risk causing burns or over-exfoliating the skin by applying wax multiple times on the same area in an attempt to remove all the hair.
