Founder of Sugar of the Nile: Lynn Ingram
Sugar of the Nile was founded in 2002 by Winnipeg entrepreneur Lynn Ingram
and specializes in sugar paste, an all-natural hair removal product. Lynn has
many years of professional experience and is trained as a sugar paste
technician.
Sugar paste for the purposes of hair removal was originally developed by the
Egyptians many centuries ago. The name Sugar of the Nile is a direct reference
to this history. The paste itself is from an all-natural recipe free of any
additives. Hair removal using body sugar leaves the skin with a clean healthy
glow, without any nicks and cuts, as is the case with shaving. As opposed to
waxing, the skin is left in a much healthier state.

History of Sugaring
Sugaring is an ancient art form of hair removal
that has been practiced for hundreds of years.
The history of body sugaring dates back to the ancient Egyptians who considered a hairless body to be the standard of beauty. In addition to the
silky smooth hairless skin, the inconvenience of body odor was easily controlled making it easier to keep themselves fresh and clean in their hot climate.
Due to its success, sugaring has been handed down through the centuries as the preferred method of hair removal in many cultures. It is still customary that when a young girl is ready to marry, she is sugared all over. The only hair she will have left on her body is the hair on her head, eyebrows and eyelashes. From that day on she is regularly sugared until after a period of time when the hair growth diminishes and in many cases stops growing all together!
