Abstract

The market for hair removal products in the cosmetics and personal care sectors is expanding. Unwanted hair development is a common issue for teenage girls and women. Because of their great efficacy, safety, and lack of negative side effects, herbal depilatories are a better option than pharmaceutical ones, as this study emphasizes. Other hair removal techniques are reviewed, along with the content of herbal lotions containing depilatory herbs. Cosmetic products called depilatories are designed to remove hair from the skin. The active ingredients in most chemical depilators are thioglycolic acid salts. Thioglycolic acid, cetyl alcohol, Cyperus rotundus oil, calcium hydroxide, vitamin E, bees wax, liquid paraffin, and the required amount of orange oil are needed to make the hair removal cream. The formulation of the hair removal cream was assessed for ph and viscosity. The outcomes highlighted the exceptional qualities of the F3 formulation.
