The man to ask would be Indigo. I'll pass the info along. Thanks!

Don,
thank you very much for your email showing me the modeling wax from Graftobian.

That modeling wax is made for making special effects on the human skin.
I found that video:

I do not recommend the modeling wax for TPE dolls (all blends) and also not for the usage on the human skin.

1. The European comission of the EU cosmetic regulation banned some of the ingredients (parabens) of the modeling wax.
Please take a look:

2. The basis of the modeling wax is a mixture of Microcrystalline Wax and Petrolatum (= Vaseline).
Therewith you have a "thick vaseline paste for modeling".
In order that the wax subsequently cures, there are solvent compounds in it which evaporate.
Phenoxyethanol is an alcohol based solvent compound, but the alcohol is not harming because it is used as an emulgator.
The problem are the parabens, because they include ester.
Ester are harmful solvents for the human skin and harmful for all TPE blends because of the disolving effect.

Thank you Indigo! Great information.

Thanks indigo that helps perhaps I could use the modeling wax as a mold then use a low temp candle as the fill I could create "elf ears" etc.
