Heating wax in a microwave

Question

Does heating wax for women’s hair removal in a microwave make the microwave non-kosher?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha. 

One needs to check the ingredients. 

According to what I have found out, it is usually made from paraffin [or natural wax] with the addition of synthetic substances, which are kosher and pose no problem.
