What is Mehron Scar Wax?

Mehron Scar Wax is a professional modelling wax based on talc, microcrystalline wax, petrolatum and carnauba wax. Body heat makes it pliable and workable, so you can apply it directly to skin without moulds or casting techniques.

The Medium shade has a neutral mid-tone colour that blends with most average skin tones. For lighter skin there is Scar Wax Light, and for deeper skin tones Scar Wax Dark.

Why choose this wax?

Easy to model: the wax softens quickly with hand warmth and stays in place while you work. You can sculpt sharp wound edges and thin skin transitions with ease.

3 skin tones available: choose the shade closest to your character's skin tone. This means less base make-up needed to blend the wax seamlessly into the skin. Professional standard: Mehron Scar Wax has been used for years in theatre, film, cosplay and Halloween. This 40g pot gives you enough material for dozens of small effects or several larger wound builds.

How to use it

Step 1: soften the wax. Scoop a small amount from the pot and knead it briefly between your fingers until soft. Don't over-knead, as wax that gets too warm can become sticky.

Step 2: apply Spirit Gum (optional). For extra adhesion, apply a thin layer of Mehron Spirit Gum to the skin where you'll place the wax. Let it dry for a few seconds until tacky.

Step 3: sculpt the shape. Press the wax gently onto the skin and model it into the desired wound shape with your fingers or a Stainless Steel Spatula. A small amount of petroleum jelly on your tools prevents sticking. Step 4: set and colour. Finish by dusting with Mehron Setting Powder to remove shine and tackiness, then apply make-up over the top. Colour it with cream make-up, water-activated face paint or alcohol-based make-up to match the skin tone or character. Pro tip from Linda: for blood effects inside an open wound, add a thin layer of Mehron Coagulated Blood Gel into the sculpted cut after colouring. For dripping blood, combine with Mehron Stage Blood.

Setting and removing

The combination of Spirit Gum and Setting Powder keeps the wax firmly in place, even during long stage days or photo shoots.

Start by scraping off the bulk of the wax with your Stainless Steel Spatula. Remove any remaining Spirit Gum with Mehron Spirit Gum Remover on a cotton pad. Then cleanse the skin with warm water and soap.
