Sugar

Fair-trade and natural, granulated white sugar is the main ingredient in Halawa paste. Heated at a high temperature, it forms the base and ensures optimal adhesion to hair.

Lemon

Fresh lemon juice plays a double role: it acts as a natural preservative and as a regrowth inhibitor.

Water

A symbol of purity, water binds the ingredients and helps create a soft, malleable texture. The result: a hair removal method that follows the natural direction of hair growth while limiting irritation.

How It’s Made

Sugar hair removal, also known as sugaring, is an ancient technique that is simple and gentle on the skin.

At Halawa, we use only three ingredients: fair-trade white sugar, water, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. This 100% natural recipe makes our paste a healthy, eco-friendly, and effective alternative to traditional wax.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to convince a client to choose sugaring?
Lemon juice slows regrowth, and the technique avoids broken hairs. The result: smooth, clear skin that lasts longer.
Yes! Sugar paste works on both fine and coarse hair. It’s ideal for sensitive skin thanks to its gentle, natural action.
Because the Halawa method requires specialized training, ensuring a professional result that respects the skin.
Absolutely! Sugaring services are charged 25–50% more than waxing, increasing profitability for professionals.
It lasts forever! Thanks to its composition (sugar + lemon) and cooking process, it is bacteriostatic: no waste, no loss of quality, regardless of storage time.
Just let it thaw for 24h at room temperature. Its texture and effectiveness remain intact, with no risk for the client.
No problem! When your workspace is hot and humid, it may happen. Place the jar in the microwave until liquid (careful, very hot!), stir with a spatula until smooth, and let rest at least 1 hour to regain the perfect texture.
Depending on the area, hair type, humidity, season, or even the professional’s hand temperature, the texture must be adapted to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
Breathe! Remove the excess, then take a small amount of hard paste. Apply in one pass over the stuck area, then flip. Repeat until it detaches, then continue the treatment. Even experienced professionals encounter this sometimes.
Just use a cloth and warm water. Unlike wax, no harsh chemicals are needed.
