Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'epilating' (removing/extracting hair) + 'wax' (a wax product) clearly denotes a wax used for epilation/hair removal. This follows common English patterns (verb-ing + noun for tools/products), so a learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Epilating wax comes from epilating (meaning 'pulling out') and wax that sticks to hair. It is wax warmed on the skin and then pulled away so the hairs come out at the root, so the phrase means 'wax used to remove hair'.
