You can easily make depilatory wax at home that is cost effective. Mix 250gm sugar with half cup of fresh lime juice. Cook the mixture in a pan over a low flame/slow heat.  Keep stirring until the mixture becomes brown , thick and sticky. Add a tablespoon of glycerine and store it in a small tin or jar.  Before you use the wax, make sure you heat it or place it in a pan of hot water for a few minutes.

Some people develop allergies to wax. Ensure you test a small area of skin before using it on the full body. If you tend to break out into skin eruptions you should avoid using wax.
