(SPOT.ph) We’ve heard about the benefits of waxing over shaving when it comes to removing unwanted body hair, but a trip to the waxing salon isn’t exactly the most enticing thing in the world. Let's face it: waxing salons can be costly. In most places, the price for a full body service starts at P2,100 for women and P2,500 for men—and this is just for one session. Imagine how much it would cost a regular who visits the salon once or twice a month to keep body hair at a minimum. Not only is it expensive, it can be inconvenient for those who have a packed calendar.
And don't even get us started on the amount of trust you put in a stranger once you get in that room. Ever tried stifling a scream while someone rips hair off sensitive areas? Yup, we'd like an alternative please. Take for example: sugar wax kits have been rising in popularity in recent years. At-home sugar wax products will only cost P300 to P400 depending on the size, with the usual 300ml jar enough for a full body wax for three to four months.
Maybe it's about time we give in to the feminine urge to take matters into our own hands. Solo waxing sessions have your time and comfort in mind, which is what personal care should be about at the end of the day. So if you're the type who likes to live their life sans some hair, read on.
What’s in a sugar wax kit?
You have the option to buy a standalone jar for most brands, but it’s best to buy the entire kit to have everything you need in one checkout. Here’s what to expect in a usual kit:
- Wooden applicators
- Stripping cloth
- Wet wipes
- Instruction card
We understand that overchoice is a real problem when it comes to online shopping, which is why we’ve compiled a list of the best local brands that offer sugar wax kits for home use.

Best local brands for sugar waxing at home:
Get Sugared (P350)
Going on a sudden beach trip with friends? Get Sugared is one of the few brands that offer a same-day delivery option—available until 5 p.m.—for those in a hurry. Instead of the usual honey or calamansi mix found in most sugar wax products, Get Sugared makes use of lemon, which prevents breakouts and nourishes the skin with vitamin C.
Price is at P350 for a 300ml jar. Available via Get Sugared on Shopee.
Strip It! (P330)
Strip It! prides itself in being the first beauty brand to offer a no-heat sugaring product in the Philippines. Nevermind the 29,431 other brands with the same product today, Strip It! is a staple in the DIY waxing world—this time with a twist. Its newest chocolate sugar wax has real cacao extracts that provide an extra moisturizing effect on the skin.
Price is at P330 for a 300ml tub. Available online.
candied & waxed (P309)
A product is more than a product—it should be an experience. No other local brand in waxing understands this better than candied & waxed, who puts a prime on presentation. Although the product only comes in one size, it compensates for its lack of options with the amount of love and care it puts in each package. Plus, it comes with its own reusable pouch, too.
Price is at P309 for a 300ml jar. Available via candied & waxed on Shopee.
Hunnywax (P350)
If you’ve ever been exposed to sugar waxing on the Internet, chances are you’ve stumbled upon a celebrity or influencer’s promotion of Hunnywax. Hunnywax has been making moves to set itself apart from other brands, the most recent of which is its efforts to rebrand to a retro and groovy look. Although this is a little more on the pricer sider, know that this is the influencer’s pick for a good reason.
Price is at P350 for a 300ml jar. Available via Hunnywax on Shopee
Bare Body Essentials (P230)
Bare Body Essentials have never been fans of hot burning wax, and so they set out to find a no-strips alternative that is prepped for the skin without the need for a microwave. Granted, most sugar wax products now offer this, but there’s merit in being the first. You have the option to choose from honey, strawberry, and mint-scented wax.
Price is at P230 for a 200ml jar. Available via Bare Body Essentials on Facebook.
Luxewax (P399)
If Hunnywax is an influencer favorite, then Luxewax is TikTok’s top sugar wax product. Eventually, Luxewax turned into the most purchased sugar wax in the country. You might be seeing this product on every platform because of how big its distributing and reselling community is. Luxewax is also known for the many freebies it gives out to buyers.
Price is at P399 for a 250ml jar. Available via Luxewax on Facebook.
Sol Sugar Wax (P310)
Self waxing might be a highly personal endeavor, but that doesn’t mean you have to keep great products to yourself! What we love about Sol Sugar Wax is that the brand is thoughtful enough to offer a gift-wrapped kit for only an additional P10 on top of the jar size of your choice. That way, you don’t have to worry about presents for longer than necessary.
Price is at P310 for a 300ml jar. Available via Sol Sugar Wax on Shopee.
The Bare Kit (P230)
The Bare Kit is one of the more newbie-friendly products in the market. Besides the fact that the sugar wax only comes in a smaller size of 100ml, The Bare Kit is the only brand to offer replacements if the sugar wax fails to work as promised—just make sure to let them know within seven days from receipt of purchase. Your satisfaction is guaranteed here.
Price is at P230 for a 100ml tub. Available via The Bare Kit on Instagram.
Azucar Wax (P250)
Love discounts and promos? Azucar Wax is the brand for you. We’re not just talking birthdays here—Azucar Wax also held a promo during voter’s registration, where all you had to do was show your registration slip to receive a free 100ml tub of wax. Do take note that there’s no in-between at Azucar Wax as you can only choose from a 100ml or a 500ml tub.
Price is at P250 for a 100ml tub. Available via Azucar Wax on Instagram.
Esme Organics (P120)
Nothing says variety like Esme Organics. This brand has wax kits in 10 different scents. They have classics like Honey, Aloe Vera, and Charcoal, but they also have more fun options like Watermelon, Milk Tea, Marshmallow, and Candy. Self wax veterans looking to spice things up in the bathroom should definitely give this a try.
Price is at P120 for a 230ml tub. Available via Esme Organics on Shopee.
