While wearing short and sleeveless dresses, hair growth leaves you annoyed. Also, hair stimulates excess sweating and smell problems. To overcome that, you decide to go for a wax -a hair removal procedure where the beautician asks about your wax preference, like Normal, Chocolate or Rica Wax. But what if you don’t have an idea about these?
But don’t get worried, we are here to answer all your questions. Waxing is a hair removal technique. Also, there are several other methods available for the removal of unwanted hair such as threading, razor and depilatory creams. But waxing is seen as more favourable for most people in India.
There are three different categories of waxes available: Chocolate Wax or (flavoured wax), Rica Wax and Normal Wax. Chocolate and Rica wax are quite expensive and claim to do more than hair removal. While normal wax is affordable and its basic job is hair removal. Let’s discuss these in detail, be with us till last!
Normal Wax
Normal wax is used by many as it is cheaper than the other two alternatives. It is made by using lemon, sugar and sometimes honey with some chemical substances. As it involves chemical substances, people with sensitive skin are not advised to use normal wax as it may cause allergies, redness and inflammation.
Chocolate Wax
Chocolate wax contains various natural ingredients like almond oil, sunflower oil, cocoa, glycerin, olive oil, soya bean oil, coconut oil and other vital minerals that make it gentle on the skin. It is less painful and also provides other benefits like tan removal, skin glow, causing less redness and anti-inflammatory properties. It removes hair from the root and leaves skin with a sparkle.
It Has the Following Advantages
Prevents Ingrowth
It glides smoothly on the skin and removes the tiniest hair without causing much pain.
Delay Hair Growth
After chocolate wax, you don’t need to book a regular appointment in the parlour. As it removes the hair from the root and delays the growth for a longer period.
Helps Remove Tan

Rica Wax
Rica wax is also named white chocolate wax. Rica is a body and hair care product manufacturing company that is operational in more than 60 countries. Rica wax is manufactured by using vegetable oil and other wax using sugar or honey. Almost all the wax contains colophony, a skin sensitiser that causes allergies. But Rica wax is free from colophony and contains plant-based ingredients, which ensures less pain during the hair removal procedure.
