At Harley Beauty Wax, we pride ourselves on using high-quality natural ingredients while maintaining the performance and safety professional estheticians expect. Unlike many modern formulations that have shifted entirely to synthetic polymers, we continue to include core natural ingredients such as beeswax and pine rosin in our hot and film waxes. These natural actives contribute to superior skin adhesion, gentle removal, and skin-conditioning benefits.

While our waxes are not 100% natural—due to the inclusion of functional components like parfum, preservatives, and colourants—we formulate with integrity. These additions serve specific purposes: ensuring product stability, ease of application, and a pleasant user experience.

• Enhance colour and user appeal (e.g., cosmetic-grade CI pigments, Mica)

• Add signature scents for client experience (Parfum and aromatic compounds)
