BECOME PART OF THE LEGEND

Perron Rigot first distinguished itself in the 1970s with our patented low-temperature recyclable waxes, a first generation of waxes with unequalled comfort and softness.

In the 1980s, after observing the properties of chewing gum and its effect on the skin, the company invented the first non-strip hard waxes with our internationally patented elastomers.

This innovative thin gel film encapsulates the hair without sticking to the skin, and gave rise to the first original hard wax beads, our famous Cirépil Blue Wax. Cirépil Blue Wax continues to be the number one selling and most awarded Cirepil Wax today! 

In the 2000’s, we created a new segment and the first hypoallergenic waxes without rosin. Our most recent innovation, the first COSMOS certified professional waxes standing for safety and preservation of the planet.

Innovation does not stop with the formulas. Our new packaging – Doypacks that are fully recyclable, made from recycled materials and use production processes that follow the strictest EU standards today. By partnering with Perron Rigot, you’re doing much more than waxing; you’re helping to make a difference!
