A Deep Dive in to Gel Cleanser

A successful wax doesn’t start with the wax itself, it starts with the skin. At Outback Organics, our Gel Cleanser has been carefully formulated to prepare the skin for waxing by cleansing, hydrating, and protecting it, ensuring every service is as comfortable and effective as possible.

This lightweight yet powerful pre-wax product removes surface impurities, excess oils, and environmental debris without stripping the skin, creating the ideal foundation for optimal wax adhesion and reduced irritation.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s inside our Gel Cleanser, and why every ingredient earns its place.

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits

Aqua (Water/Eau)

Water forms the base of the Gel Cleanser and is essential for maintaining hydration and skin balance during the pre-wax process.

Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice

A pre- and post-wax hero, Aloe Vera is known for its calming, soothing, and hydrating properties. It helps reduce redness and supports skin comfort, making it ideal for even the most sensitive clients.

Benzoic Acid

A naturally occurring plant-derived acid with analgesic and antiseptic properties. It supports skin cleanliness while helping minimise discomfort prior to waxing.

Potassium Sorbate

Naturally found in rowan berries, this ingredient inhibits the growth of moulds and yeasts, helping maintain product stability and shelf life.

Cyclopentasiloxane & Cyclohexasiloxane

These lightweight, quick-evaporating silicones improve glide, spreadability, and even distribution of active ingredients without leaving residue on the skin.

Sodium Cocoyl

A mild, biodegradable surfactant derived from coconut. It gently cleanses the skin and is far more suitable for sensitive skin types than harsher sulfate-based cleansers.

Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein

Derived from an ancient gluten-free grain, this protein is broken down for easy absorption into the skin and hair. It helps condition and strengthen while improving overall skin feel.

Glycerin

A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated and supple — essential for reducing friction and discomfort during waxing.

Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract

Known for its soothing and cooling properties, cucumber extract helps calm redness and relieve itchiness, especially beneficial for reactive skin.

Triethanolamine

An organic emulsifier that helps balance the pH of the product, ensuring it remains skin-friendly and effective.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

This ingredient improves product texture, stability, and shelf life, ensuring consistent performance with every use.

Polysorbate 20

A mild cleansing and stabilising agent that helps keep ingredients evenly dispersed throughout the formula.

Rosa Moschata (Rosehip) Seed Oil

Rich in Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9, rosehip oil is renowned for skin repair and regeneration. Its antioxidant profile helps reduce pigmentation and supports healthy skin recovery.

Allantoin

Naturally found in comfrey, allantoin hydrates, protects against irritation, and gently exfoliates dead skin cells for a smoother waxing surface.

DMDN Hydantoin

An antimicrobial preservative currently included to ensure product safety. While effective, it can cause irritation in some individuals. We are actively reformulating our Gel Cleanser to remove this ingredient in future versions.

Poly (Hexamethylene Biguanide) Hydrochloride

A low-toxicity disinfectant that provides protection against fungi and viruses, making it ideal for professional-grade skincare products.

Parfum

A small amount of fragrance is included to enhance the client experience without overpowering the senses.

Prostanthera Rotundifolia (Mint Bush) Leaf Extract

An Australian native botanical with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, particularly beneficial for spot-prone and congested skin.

Our Gel Cleanser is more than just a cleanser, it’s an essential step in delivering professional, results-driven waxing services. By supporting skin health, improving comfort, and enhancing wax performance, it helps therapists achieve consistent results while keeping client care front and centre.

And that’s everything in our Gel Cleanser, each ingredient carefully selected for a reason, working together to deliver exceptional pre-wax results.
