If you’re looking to stay smoother longer between waxes, we’ve got the secret—and it starts with a flower. Every product in our EWC SLOW™ Collection is powered by one standout, naturally derived ingredient: Narcissus Bulb Extract. And yes, it really works to slow down hair regrowth.

Our approach to waxing is holistic. That means it doesn’t stop after your service. At European Wax Center, we’re big believers in a full aftercare routine to help extend that just-waxed feeling. That’s where the SLOW™ Collection shines.

What Is Narcissus Bulb Extract?

You might recognize the name from the daffodil flower—Narcissus Bulb Extract comes from the bulb of this plant, and it’s the star of our hair-minimizing formula. Just as the daffodil bulb goes into a dormant phase, this extract works in a similar way on skin post-wax.

Once hair is removed from the root (not just trimmed at the surface), the extract helps slow down the regrowth process. Over time, hair appears thinner, softer, and less noticeable. It’s a natural solution to help you get more time between waxes.

How Does It Work?

“Narcissus Bulb Extract works by slowing hair regrowth at the root,” explains Karly Thain, European Wax Center’s Director of Product Strategy and Development. “Its benefits are most effective when used on freshly waxed skin, where the hair has been removed directly from the root—not just shaved at the surface.”

Translation? For the extract to really do its thing, waxing is key.

Karly’s Tip: “For best results, we recommend using the full SLOW™ routine—body wash, polish, and moisturizer—together as a daily system. For underarms, add the SLOW™ Deodorant to your routine.”

How to Incorporate SLOW Into Your Routine

Want to actually see results? Here’s how to build the SLOW™ Collection into your daily routine for maximum hair-minimizing benefits:

• Step 1: SLOW™ Body Wash – Gently cleanses while laying the foundation for the extract to get to work.
  
  

• Step 2: SLOW™ Body Polish – Exfoliates to clear away dead skin and keep pores clear.
  
  

• Step 3: SLOW™ Body Lotion – Hydrates while continuing to deliver Narcissus Bulb Extract to freshly waxed skin.
  
  

• Step 4 (Optional): SLOW™ Deodorant – Keeps you fresh and targets regrowth on the underarms.
  
  

Choose your preferred scent and hydration level based on your skin type—whether you’re dry, oily, or somewhere in between.

Why We Love It

Not only is Narcissus Bulb Extract effective, it’s also naturally soothing and gentle enough for sensitive skin. That means you can minimize regrowth without compromising your skin’s health. And because it’s part of the SLOW™ system, it’s easy to use every day.

Pair these products with your regular waxing services at EWC and you’ll notice the difference: hair that grows back softer, slower, and finer over time.
