The way our skin tells a story can be mesmerizingly uniqueunique (the texture, scars…).
Derived from the art of tea ceremony, Wabi-Sabi was an enlightenment from skin to soul. It’s about celebrating the uniqueness by welcoming and cherishing one’s flaws and all. It’s a step back from the traditional beauty paradigm; it’s the re-definition of the art of self-care. By paying homage to the ancient whilst still present philosophy, KOTAMU was born.
More than an adorable, cute waxing item you would be proud to own, KOTAMU sets its goal higher. A healthier planet with a lighter footprint is what we sincerely live & breathe.
As a team of caring humans, we love everything about the forest & deeply understand how broken the beauty industry really is. On our journey to become a Carbon Negative Business, we hope you will join us.
How did we get our start?
On an enchanted trip to Mie-ken (Mie Prefecture), one of Japan’s tea-producing areas, the creators of the brand encountered a concept of exploring, discovering & embracing one’s true beauty and self.
What makes our product unique?
We value smooth skin in a natural, healthy way. That’s why all our waxes are created with good-for-your-skin ingredients.

WHY WE LOVE THE WAXING KIT – “I was shocked that this wax consistently removes the entire hair, tip to root.” Nothing will ever compare if you are getting salon-grade hair-removal result that lasts up to 6 weeks!
DIY BIKINI/BRAZILIAN WAX – When it comes to sensitive spots, hard wax definitely is a better choice since it would only stick to the hairs (not skin, ouch!). Friendly to any wax newbie, this at home waxing starter kit will get the unwanted coarse & fine body hair removed while save your Bigg…
10 MINS TO HEAT – Wax that doesn’t melt evenly can crack and go brittle…That’s why the “Automatic Keep Warm” function matters: your pearl wax always stays ready for serving! Featuring the innovative PTC heating technology, Kotamu wax warmer for hair removal just provides more UNIFORM HEATING
FULL BODY WAX KIT – Super fed up with the messy and smelly depilatories? Here’s your way to go! The light and pleasant scent indicates the smoothing, gentle formula(wax beads for sensitive skin!) and thus is ideal for face, chest, back, arms and legs’ flawless hair removal
1-YEAR MANUFACTURER PROMISE – Have any questions about the waxing kit? Please feel free to reach out directly via Amazon. Kotamu takes pride in its high quality waxing essentials. That’s why we are happy to help if there’s any defect/problem regarding our hard wax kit
WAX READY IN ONE GO – Only one step and wax is ready to serve your SKIN! Simply rotate the knob to your perfect spot, e.g., one may figure out that 165°F is best for waxing her legs. It is NORMAL for the thermostat to go up and up. This is to allow the wax heater to fully warm up. It will automatically cool down to your desired temp

Easy to use & heats evenly!
This wax pot works great! It heats up quickly and melts the wax evenly without burning it. The temperature control is easy to use, making it beginner-friendly but still perfect for at-home waxing. It feels sturdy and well made, and clean-up is simple. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Some Random Person –
Even heat, easy to use.
I’ve had this for about a year and a half, and it’s still working beautifully.This is a good set for people just getting into waxing. It comes with everything you need to get started, and includes a card with beginner tips and a QR code for troubleshooting. I appreciate the lid and the silicone liner. They help keep the warmer clean and the wax free of dust. Being able to sample several different types of wax was nice, too. Each wax has a different recommended hair texture, but they also have slightly different scents.

Simple and works
I am tired of having to go somewhere whenever I need my face waxed! This was a good price and because I understand how to use wax, I am able to handle it without a huge mess. It heats up nice, I like the temperature adjustment and the wax peels off very well. The only reason I’m not giving a 5 star is it doesn’t get all my hairs, but neither did the place I would get my wax.

Great Experience!
I’d like to state that I am a novice at waxing. I have a terrible reaction to shaving. No matter the blade, technique, or aftercare product, I seem to always end up with terrible razor bumps that hurt badly. With summer coming up, I decided I’ve had enough and want to feel confident showing my legs again. I did quite a bit of research regarding different products and how to wax properly. I watched lots of videos as well- some helpful and some scary. But I quickly learned the scary ones were truly human error or a lack of practice. I’m hoping that sharing my experience can help another beginner like me!Since I wasn’t sure how my skin would react to waxing, I didn’t want to spend a fortune. But I also wanted to do it right. This was a wonderful deal. The warmer is super cute (I got the pink one), and it’s small enough to fit on my bathroom shelf. It’s also not an eye sore and I don’t feel the need to hide it somewhere. Shipping was fast and everything was exactly as described.The manual was very helpful, although I do think it would have touched more on how to operate the actual warmer. However, it ended up not being an issue because it’s easy-peasy. After plugging in and pouring your wax beads, you simply turn the dial to the temp you’d like. 155-160 was perfect for me. The manual does address this, but you must remember that the warmer is going to reach its max temp in order to fully melt the wax (240 something- extremely hot!) The digital reader will rise and then fall back down to your set temp. There’s also a red/green light to let you know when it’s ready (it took about a total of 10-15 minutes.) Test a small amount on your inner wrist before diving into it. This will give you an idea of how it will feel and if the consistency is correct. I feel that it needs to be a bit thicker than honey… more like condensed milk.There is definitely a learning curve to this whole process. Holding horizontally and twisting the stick is your best friend. This helps to create a bulb at the end of the stick. I recommend also using an up and down motion as you twist, similar to a handshake, to separate any strings hanging onto the bulb. If there is any dripping, the wax is way too hot, but this should not happen if you keep it between 155-160. I started on my leg and the technique wasn’t hard to learn, but I was getting sad when I wasn’t picking up much hair. I took a break from that and tried my armpit. This is where I learned a lot. Because my armpits are more sensitive than my legs, and I was anxious about the pain, I peeled the wax much sooner than I was before. It ripped out every hair. And I mean ALL of it. And the pain was so minimal, it took me all of 2 minutes to finish both armpits. The directions say to peel after 30-45 seconds, but this was too long and was making the wax un-stick to my hair. I found more success in waiting about 10 seconds, and so the rest of the waxing was smooth sailing.I’m sure it can be different for people with other hair types and directions of growth, but I think patience and practice is key. I let my coarser hairs grow a bit longer than a grain of rice (which was an annoying 3 weeks, but it’s worth it!) My hairs grow at different speeds and thickness, so I can feel some of the small, finer hairs still. But I know waxing has to be done multiple times before it’s uniform and/or stops growing. You can always tweeze anything noticeable leftover. Overall, I am so satisfied and impressed with this purchase and couldn’t recommend it enough, especially for someone wanting to learn how. It’s been 24 hours and normally I’d be covered in painful bumps, but my skin is silky smooth and clear! I love that they also sell Kotamu wax beads separately so that you can keep using the brand if you adore it like I did!

High quality beginner friendly wax warmer! Amazing price!
Bought this wax warmer after deciding I wanted to save a bit of extra money and wax myself.Seen some bad reviews and decided to look at other wax warmers but ultimately went with this one. Upon opening I was very impressed with the packaging and quality of the warmer. Came in this cute pinkish color and felt pretty high quality for 30$. Overall I was very impressed with how easy it was to use, The quality, Heat temperature, and hard wax bead quality. This is a very high quality warmer for 30$ and is a long term investment if you wanna save the 30-40$+ each time you get waxed anywhere else, price ultimately depends on where you’re getting waxed for me legs is standard 30-40$ where I live.However, I do recommend getting bigger bags of the wax beads, and different type beads for waxing different hair types. (ex. Brazilian wax would need beads for coarse thick hair) which was not included. Pink beads are for eyebrow hairs and any thin hair. The creamish white beads work for legs if that’s all you got but I recommend getting different bead types.If you have sensitive skin I recommend doing a small test on your arm or leg to make sure you have no kind of reaction. I do not have sensitive skin, my skin can typically handle mostly any kind of product as I have never reacted negatively to anything I’ve put on my skin so I went all in.(Note: Wax spatula seen in video NOT included bought separately)(Note: does NOT come with pre wax or after wax)1. The first picture is everything you will get, 1pack two size sticks, 2 pack hard wax beads for fine/thin hair, 2 pack hard wax beads for thicker hair, Instructions + 5 year warranty, Wax warmer lid, silicone bowl and the warmer itself.2. After setting it up which was extremely easy, just remove packaging wrapper and put the silicone bowl in the smaller metal bowl it comes with then plug in and turn the dial to your preferred heat. (I did Max heat 240 then turned down to 185-190 and kept within that range) Cord is somewhat small so make sure it’s on a flat surface. In my case, I needed a stool since it did not reach my sink.3. The easiest way I found to clean it was letting the wax fully cool and turning the silicone bowl inside out and taking it off with my hands, then using a flushable wipe, baby wipe or any wet wipe to wipe off the rest clean.This left my legs feeling irresistibly smooth and soft. This was also my first time using a wax warmer and waxing myself. Extremely beginner friendly!

Dear Kotamu and Amazon KSA,When you wish to sell an electric product, the voltage and adapter of said product should not be secondary in terms of priorities.I was waiting for the machine only to be faced by this:The power adapter is made for the US and same for the 120 voltage of the machine (not mentioned in the description too!) while Saudi Arabia outputs support 240 V.Diagraceful!

If you’re a beginner like me, don’t buy these beads. They take forever to dry and stick on everything, and leave such a messy residue even if the strip comes off in one piece. Even soap and water isn’t gonna get all of the tiny residue out.. But the heater is really good, love the silicone bowl as well.
dakota macinnis –
i love the wax warmer in this kit and the silicone insert that it comes with, makes for easy wax removal so you don’t have to spend time cleaning it out. on the other hand, the wax beads that come with this kit didn’t do too well for me. i would recommend buying the wax melter and different brand beads for best outcome!
Varsha –
Works perfectly well.FYI, With one 100g packet of the wax beads I was able to wax my legs from foot to knee, underarms, upper lip and side burns.Does not bruise and effectively removes unwanted hair.

I was really pleased with how this wax warmer was working, and the wax was great too. However sadly the machine turned itself off and stopped working only 20 minutes of first use. I don’t know whether mine is faulty or what happened, but any advice would be greatly appreciated..
