Candy Coat Beauty makes waxing sweet!!

Candy Coat Beauty is yummy small batch depilatory waxes for safe and effective hair removal. Candy Coat Beauty was born out of the art of candy making and the relentless pursuit for the perfect hard wax that was low temperature, didn't stick to the skin, would shrink wrap hair to ensure little to no breakage and wasn't made from ingredients that couldn't be pronounced! These waxes are made from natural ingredients like bee's wax, cocoa, and pure essential oils and can deliver customized results for brows, Brazilians, and everywhere in between, ensuring a soothing experience each and every time for your skin.
