Skin Safety Test and Guidelines for Jelly Wax

At Jelly Wax, your safety is our top priority. While our Signature Jelly Wax formula is designed for sensitive skin and is gentle for most users, every skin type is unique. To ensure the best experience and avoid irritation, it is essential to conduct a Skin Safety Test before your first waxing session or when using our products on a new area of your body.

When to Perform a Skin Safety Test

• If you are using Jelly Wax for the first time.
• When applying Jelly Wax to a new area of your body.
• After recent UV exposure or if your skin tone has changed due to tanning (natural or artificial).
• If you have sensitive skin, allergies, or a history of skin reactions.

How to Complete the Skin Safety Test

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin

1. Exfoliate the area to be tested to remove dead skin cells.
2. Ensure the area is clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions.

Step 2: Apply a Small Test Patch

1. Using a small amount of Jelly Wax, apply it to an inconspicuous area within the treatment zone (e.g., the inside of your arm or behind your knee).
2. Allow the wax to cool and remove it following the included instructions.
   

Step 3: Observe the Test Area

• Monitor the test area for 24-48 hours for any signs of irritation, such as itching, swelling, or discoloration.

What to Do If You Have a Reaction

If you experience any of the following reactions, discontinue use immediately:

• Prolonged swelling (think after 24-48 hours)
• Skin rash or hives
• Scarring, or excessive sensitivity
• Itching or discoloration
  

Contact your healthcare provider if symptoms persist, and feel free to reach out to our team at info@jellywax.co for assistance.

Important Safety Guidelines

1. Avoid Waxing on Certain Areas or Conditions:
• Do not wax over broken, irritated, or sunburned skin.
• Consult with your doctor before using if you have a skin medical conditions.
• Avoid retinols 7 days before waxing. Retinols may thin the skin and may increase skin sensitivity.
2. Tanning and UV Exposure:
• Avoid waxing immediately after tanning.
• Wait at least 24-48 hours after waxing before sunbathing or tanning.
3. Post-Wax Care:
• Use our recommended post-wax products, such as Cooling Jelly, to soothe and hydrate your skin.
• Avoid tight clothing and exfoliate gently with a product like our Whipped Sugar Scrub or Ingrown Prevention Tonic a few days after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs.
4. Skin Type Compatibility:
• Jelly Wax is formulated for most skin types, including sensitive skin and was formulated to be hypo-allergenic, but always preform a skin test prior to completing large areas.
• Jelly Wax can be used on tattoos.
5. Children and Medical Conditions:
• Jelly Wax is not for children.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing medical treatment, consult your doctor before use. The most important thing to note
