Saludent Gentle Hair Removal Cream 80g
Effective chemical hair removal but thioglycolates and alkalizers pose irritation risks for sensitive users.
Perform a 24-hour patch test before use. Do not exceed recommended time (typically 5-10 min). Avoid eyes, broken skin, or sensitive areas. Rinse thoroughly. Discontinue if redness, burning, or rash occurs. For external use only.
What's the verdict?
This product uses chemical agents to break down hair keratin while including moisturizers to reduce dryness. Suitable for legs, arms, and bikini line (not face), it offers convenience but requires strict adherence to instructions to minimize irritation risks common to thioglycolate-based creams.
What it's made of
8 listed · 4 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Water (Base/Solvent)
Primary carrier that delivers active ingredients evenly to skin; completely safe for topical use, facilitates easy removal and rinsing with no adverse effects or absorption concerns.
- Potassium Thioglycolate (Depilatory Agent)Caution
Breaks disulfide bonds in hair keratin allowing easy wipe-off; carries high risk of chemical irritation, redness, burning or allergic dermatitis; must be used precisely to avoid skin damage.
- Calcium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster/Alkalizer)Caution
Raises pH to activate depilatory action; strongly alkaline nature can cause skin burns, swelling or severe irritation if left on too long or on sensitive areas.
- Glycerin (Humectant/Moisturizer)Beneficial
Attracts moisture to counteract potential dryness from depilatory chemicals; beneficial for post-use skin hydration, softness and barrier support with excellent safety profile.
- Cetearyl Alcohol (Emulsifier/Emollient)
Stabilizes formula texture for smooth application and provides mild skin softening; generally safe, non-irritating material with low allergy risk for most consumers.
- Mineral Oil (Occlusive/Protectant)
Creates barrier to help retain skin moisture after treatment; petroleum-derived with some consumer concerns over impurities but recognized as safe for cosmetic topical use.
- Fragrance (Scent Masking Agent)Caution
Covers strong chemical odor of thioglycolates; undisclosed components may trigger allergies, contact dermatitis or sensitivity reactions in fragrance-intolerant individuals.
- Propylene Glycol (Solvent/Penetrant)Caution
Improves ingredient absorption and moisture retention; can act as a skin irritant or allergen for sensitive users, potentially causing stinging on compromised skin barriers.
