ItalWaxSTRONG sugar paste for hair removal 600 g
Product detailed description
Stable sugar paste even where it is warmer
Temperature is one of the factors in shugaring that significantly affects the behaviour of the sugar paste. Warm hands, skin, or a higher temperature in the salon can quickly heat up a soft paste, causing it to lose its ideal working consistency.
ItalWax STRONG solves this problem with its medium density and more stable plastic consistency.
It is specially designed:
- for work in warmer rooms,
- for body areas with a higher skin temperature,
- for stylists who find that softer pastes heat up too quickly during work,
- for the manual shugaring technique,
- for standalone use as well as mixing with softer ItalWax sugar pastes.
STRONG – medium density for greater control
Despite the name STRONG, it is not a hard or difficult-to-work paste.
It has a medium density and a soft, flexible, and plastic consistency, providing a good compromise between ease of application and stability during epilation.
When the correct working temperature is chosen, the paste:
✔ moulds well in the hands
✔ spreads comfortably over the skin
✔ does not melt excessively
✔ does not smudge
✔ remains easy to control with the manual technique
That is why STRONG is a practical choice where a classic soft paste may already be too pliable.
What problem does a higher density solve?
During work, the sugar paste is heated by the room temperature, the skin, and the stylist's hands.
If the paste is too soft for the given conditions, it may start to stick excessively, smudge, and become harder to remove from the skin.
Medium-density ItalWax STRONG provides a greater reserve against heat. Therefore, the manufacturer recommends it specifically for warmer working environments and skin areas with a higher temperature.
Minimalist formula: "nothing extra"
ItalWax created the STRONG sugar paste according to a simple principle – nothing extra.
The formula contains only:
edible sugars + corn starch.
It does not contain citric acid and the manufacturer describes it as a hypoallergenic product.
A simple formula is an advantage, especially for professional work, where the depilation product comes into direct contact with the skin.
Shugaring – application against growth, removal in the direction of growth
The technique of working with sugar paste differs from classic strip waxing.
With manual shugaring, STRONG is:
applied against the direction of hair growth → removed in the direction of hair growth.
Removing the hair in its natural direction of growth can contribute to a more comfortable depilation process and reduce hair breakage.
Furthermore, with the manual technique, depilatory paper strips are not required.
Ideal for warmer salons
If your workspace is not constantly air-conditioned or the temperature in the salon increases significantly during the summer, the density of the sugar paste can have a fundamental impact on the comfort of work.
STRONG is designed specifically for higher working temperatures.
It is equally suitable for areas where the skin is naturally warmer and a soft paste might lose its consistency more quickly during work.
Create your own working density
A great advantage of the ItalWax system is the ability to combine individual densities of sugar pastes.
Therefore, you do not have to use STRONG alone.
If SOFT is, for example, too soft under specific conditions, you can combine it with STRONG to create a consistency that better suits:
- room temperature,
- the client's skin temperature,
- the temperature of your hands,
- the area of the body,
- your working technique.
This gives the professional stylist significantly more control over the behaviour of the paste during the procedure.

SOFT or STRONG – which one to choose?
ItalWax SOFT has a low density and is designed primarily for work in cool, well air-conditioned environments and on larger areas, such as legs and arms.
ItalWax STRONG has a medium density and is more stable at higher temperatures. It is suitable for warmer environments and warmer skin areas.
If SOFT becomes too soft, sticky or harder to control during work, STRONG may be the more suitable choice.
And if you need something in between, SOFT and STRONG can be combined.

FAQ
What does STRONG mean for ItalWax sugar paste?
STRONG denotes a sugar paste with medium density, which is more stable at higher working temperatures than the SOFT soft variant.
When is STRONG better than SOFT?
STRONG is more suitable especially in warmer rooms and when working on skin with a higher temperature. If the soft paste softens too quickly during work, STRONG can provide better control.
Is STRONG a hard sugar paste?
No. The manufacturer describes it as a paste with medium density and a soft, flexible, and plastic consistency.
How is ItalWax STRONG used?
With the manual technique, the sugar paste is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed with a quick movement in the direction of growth.
Do I need waxing strips?
No. With the manual technique, the paste is applied and removed by hand wearing a glove.
Can I mix STRONG with SOFT?
Yes. Different densities of ItalWax sugar pastes can be combined, allowing the consistency to be adapted to the room temperature, skin temperature, and your own working technique.
Why does sugar paste sometimes start to stick and smudge?
One of the reasons may be an excessively high room, skin, or hand temperature relative to the chosen density of the paste. In such cases, a higher density variant or a combination of SOFT and STRONG can help.
Does ItalWax STRONG contain citric acid?
No. According to the manufacturer, it contains only edible sugars and cornstarch and does not contain citric acid.
