Soft wax is a wax formula designed to be used with strips during the removal process. It's soft and pliable upon application and also stays sticky, which helps the strip adhere to it.
Soft wax is the wax most estheticians learn to wax with during school because it's relatively easy to learn and effective at removing hair. It's also beginner-friendly and easy to use for those without much experience.
Soft wax comes in semi-solid form in a can and is heated using a wax warmer. Nova’s soft strip wax formula is also vegan, fragrance-free, and sensitive-skin friendly.

Benefits of Soft Wax
Efficiency on Large Areas
Soft wax is ideal for large body areas like legs or back.
It stays soft and sticky, allowing for larger strips to be applied. Its pliability and longer setting time enable precise application and efficient hair removal, making it perfect for speed waxing multiple strips at once.
Effectiveness on All Hair Types
Soft wax works well on all hair lengths and types.
It grips tiny, fine, short, long, or coarse hair easily. Its longer setting time is especially effective for fine hairs, ensuring thorough removal.
Exfoliation
Soft wax not only leaves skin hair-free but also smooth and even.
It adheres to both hair and skin, helping remove dead skin cells. This accelerates the skin’s natural exfoliation cycle, which occurs every 28 days, resulting in smoother skin.
Applying and removing soft wax pulls hair from the root and exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving your skin smoother and slowing hair regrowth with consistent use.
Overall, soft wax is a great choice for achieving hair-free, smooth skin while enjoying added exfoliation benefits.

Where to Use Soft Wax
Soft wax is generally advised to be used on areas where fine hair grows, like facial waxing for the eyebrows, upper lip, etc. However, it's also very effective on larger areas like the back, arms, legs, or chest.
When choosing to use Nova Soft Wax, you’ll enjoy the ability to use it on a variety of areas, skin types, and hair types. Our formula at Nova is unique due to our thoughtfully chosen ingredients.
This vegan, fragrance-free, and rosin-free formula was created with the interests of all users and all application areas in mind, no matter how sensitive they might be. We pride ourselves on carrying a formula safe for all skin types and want to make sure everyone who chooses Nova can achieve silky smooth skin.
Our formula can be used on both fine and coarse hair, whether the areas are large or small. Nova Wax soft wax is best when used on the back, arms, legs, and bikini line.
How to Use Soft Wax
- Properly clean and dry the service area.
- Heat your soft wax to an appropriate temperature. Before application, apply a test strip to your inner wrist to ensure the temperature is suitable.
- Study the direction of hair growth before applying your strip, it’s VERY important to never wax over the same area twice when using soft wax. Since it adheres to the skin instead of just the hair, there is a good chance you could lift the skin and cause burns if you apply the same strip in the same area more than once.
- Apply the wax in the direction of the hair growth and lay down the strip over the wax, pressing the strip firmly to ensure proper adherence.
- Hold the skin taught and pull the strip off in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
- Apply pressure with your hand to soothe any irritation after the pull.
- Properly apply aftercare products to lock in your new results!
