WigWipes™ — Adhesive Removal Wipes for Special FX Theatrical Prosthetics & Appliances

Precision adhesive and SFX removal for the professional set, stage, and chair.

In theatrical, film, and prosthetic environments, the removal process is as critical as the application. A rushed or improper teardown damages expensive prosthetic pieces, compromises the integrity of latex and rubber, and causes painful skin reactions on talent who have been under "heavy" makeup and adhesive-bonded appliances for hours.

The window between scenes or the end of a long shoot day doesn't allow for lengthy, multi-step scrubbing. You need a removal method that works fast, works clean, and works safely on every material at your station—skin, SFX makeup, foam latex, silicone, and delicate lace—without reaching for three different solvents to get the job done.

WigWipes™ were built for the grueling demands of the professional makeup, SFX, and prosthetics environment.

What WigWipes™ Do

WigWipes™ are pre-saturated cosmetic wipes engineered to dissolve and lift professional adhesives and SFX pigments from skin, hair, and appliances. The formula works on contact—no soaking, no waiting, no aggressive scrubbing. The adhesive and makeup soften, release, and roll away. One wipe. Clean surface. Ready for the next application or a clean wrap for the talent.

Safe for delicate materials including HD lace, foam latex, and encapsulated silicone, WigWipes™ will not tear, fray, or degrade reusable pieces during the removal process.

Use WigWipes™ to:

• Remove SFX makeup and adhesives from talent skin quickly and gently between takes.
• Break down greasepaint, PAX, and alcohol-based palettes without over-stripping the skin’s natural barrier.
• Dissolve adhesive from the hairline and facial areas without causing the redness or irritation common under hot set lighting.
• Clean adhesive residue from theatrical rubber and latex appliances for reuse.
• Safely strip adhesive from foam latex, silicone-adjacent, and cast prosthetic pieces without swelling the material.
• Clean costume hairpieces and lace frontals between uses.
• Maintain HD, transparent, and Swiss lace without tearing or weakening the mesh.
• Remove residue from brushes, palettes, spatulas, and application tools.
• Clean makeup stations, mirrors, and hard surfaces of stubborn spirit gum or prosthetic adhesive.
• Lift adhesive spots from costumes and wardrobe pieces where "accidents" happen on set.

Why Professionals Choose WigWipes™

On set and on stage, every minute is a budget item. Your removal method needs to keep up with the pace of production without putting talent or expensive prosthetics at risk.

WigWipes™ eliminate the mess of liquid removers—no spills, no saturated sponges, and no dripping solvent across your kit. They eliminate the irritation risk—no alcohol, no acetone, and no harsh chemicals sitting against skin that has already been stressed by hours of wear. Most importantly, they protect your investment: they are gentle enough that reusable pieces come off clean and intact, ready for the next show.

2. Press gently against the adhesive or SFX makeup area on skin, prosthetic, or hairpiece.
3. Massage in a circular motion—the product will soften and start to lift.
4. Wipe away residue. For heavy SFX buildup or layered adhesives, a second wipe may be required.
5. After removal, wash skin with a small amount of soap and water. For prosthetic appliances, follow your standard post-removal sanitization protocol.
6. Reseal the pack immediately to prevent evaporation.

Beyond the Chair
