The product, in the report: Sally Hansen’s Extra Strength All-Over Body Wax Kit Container
I use body wax on a regular basis and recently decided to try out Sally Hansen’s Extra Strength All-Over Body Wax Kit. When heating the wax in the microwave, the container melted, ruining the microwave. The plastic container cannot withstand 1 minute of heating, despite instructions that the wax must be melted prior to use. It became a puddle of sticky goo in the bottom of the microwave. The wax is of a texture that never hardens and cannot be removed. Normally, wax can either be washed off with soap and water, or when it cools, it hardens to a texture that can be pulled off in one chunk. This wax is like a pot of soft bubble gum, essentially ruining everything it touched. There is no good way to use this wax and I hope that it will be removed from the market to save others from having the mess that I did. Floors, rugs, clothing, and microwave were ruined. And as a side note, it does NOT remove the hair as promised and it caused a horrible skin reaction where I used it. But that was no big deal compared to the destruction it did in my house.
