What it's made of
10 listed · 4 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Aqua (Water) (Solvent/Base)
Primary carrier for active ingredients in the cream; safe for topical use with no direct positive or negative health effects but enables the delivery of the formula to the skin.
- Potassium Thioglycolate (Depilatory Agent)Caution
Chemically breaks down hair proteins for removal; can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions or burns if misused, posing a caution for users with sensitive skin despite the 'sensitive' formulation.
- Calcium Hydroxide (Alkalizing Agent)Caution
Adjusts the pH to optimize hair dissolution; highly alkaline nature can lead to skin irritation or chemical burns, requiring strict adherence to usage instructions.
- Urea (Keratolytic/Humectant)
Softens the hair and skin for easier removal while providing some moisturizing effect; generally neutral but may cause mild stinging on damaged skin.
- Cetearyl Alcohol (Emollient/Emulsifier)Beneficial
Helps create a creamy texture and soothes the skin by forming a protective barrier; beneficial as it reduces potential dryness from the depilatory action.
- Glycerin (Humectant)Beneficial
Draws moisture into the skin to prevent dryness after hair removal; beneficial for maintaining skin hydration and comfort.
- Parfum (Fragrance)Caution
Masks the unpleasant odor of the active chemicals; however, synthetic fragrances may trigger allergies or sensitivities in some users, hence a caution for those with fragrance sensitivities.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Soothing Agent)Beneficial
Provides anti-inflammatory and calming effects on the skin; beneficial for reducing redness and irritation associated with hair removal on sensitive skin.
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (Moisturizer)Beneficial
Rich in vitamins and fatty acids that nourish the skin; beneficial for improving skin softness and supporting recovery after depilation.
- Sodium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster)Caution
Fine-tunes the alkalinity of the product; can be irritating or corrosive in high amounts, but in controlled quantities it's neutral - still warrants caution due to its potential for skin damage if formula is imbalanced.
