Post-Hair Removal Care
Ingrown Hair Treatment
Treats ingrown hair bumps from shaving or waxing
Size: 30ml
Hibiscus Monkey's Ingrown Hair Treatment is a nature-derived post-wax and post-shave solution for ingrown hair bumps. If you shave or wax, ingrown hair isn't a question of if, it's when. New hair grows back into the skin instead of out, your skin reacts like it's under attack: red, bumpy, angry, and often infected. Left untreated, it leaves dark spots and persistent bumps behind. Packed with plant-based salicylic acid, Tamanu Seed Oil, and Borage Oil, our Ingrown Hair Treatment tackles ingrown hair four ways: exfoliates the bump, reduces dark spots, calms redness and prevents infection, and strengthens the skin barrier so you can fight existing and future ingrown hair. Suitable any body who shaves or waxes.
Can we use this on our face?
Yes, you're welcome to use this on your face. Our products have face-grade quality formulations. Like with any new skincare product, we just ask you to patch test first
When should I start using the Ingrown Hair Treatment?
Start using it daily in the days leading up to your shaving or waxing session, focusing on the areas most prone to ingrown hair
When should I apply it after shaving or waxing?
Wait a couple of hours after hair removal for the skin to settle, then apply
Are there any precautions I should take?
Do not apply on open wounds or cuts

Why we are better
Process of Bringing Ingrown Hair Treatment to Life
Step 1
Ingrown hair isn't one problem - it's four. Most treatments address one. Ours addresses all of them.
Step 2
The Biology: After hair removal, the new hair grows back at an angle and re-enters the skin instead of growing out. Your immune system treats it as a foreign body, triggering redness, swelling, a bump, and often infection. Left untreated, each episode leaves dark spots behind.
Step 3
Attack #1, Exfoliation: Plant-based salicylic acid exfoliates the dead skin cells forming the bump over the ingrown hair, clearing the path for the hair to grow out normally instead of continuing to embed.
Step 4
Attack #2, Dark Spot Reduction: The inflammation from each ingrown hair episode triggers post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Targeted actives in the formula work to reduce the dark spots left behind, addressing the damage, not just the current bump.
Step 5
Attack #3, Calming & Infection Prevention: Active botanicals calm redness and irritation at the site while creating an environment that prevents bacterial infection from taking hold or flaring up further.
Step 6
Attack #4, Barrier Strengthening: Safflower Oil and Borage Oil, which are incredibly rich in GLAs and Linoleic acid, rebuild the skin barrier function, so skin is better equipped to handle future hair removal cycles and less likely to produce ingrown hair in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ingrown hair occurs when a new hair curls back into the skin after removal, triggering redness, a bump, and often infection. Hibiscus Monkey's Ingrown Hair Treatment Oil addresses this in four ways simultaneously: plant-derived salicylic acid from Wintergreen Leaf Extract exfoliates the dead skin forming the bump and clears the path for the hair to grow out; Tamanu Seed Oil and active botanicals calm redness and prevent infection; a proprietary brightening complex reduces the dark spots left behind; and Safflower and Borage Oils rebuild the skin barrier to prevent future ingrowns. Apply daily to affected areas; results are typically visible within two - three weeks depending on the severity of the ingrown bump.
