    GlossaryDepilatory Creams (Hair Removal Creams)

    chemical lotions that dissolve hair for easy removal

    Depilatory creams, also known as hair removal creams, are topical products designed to remove unwanted hair from the skin's surface. They contain active chemical ingredients, such as calcium thioglycolate or potassium hydroxide, which break down the protein structure of hair, making it easy to wipe away. These creams offer a painless alternative to shaving or waxing and are commonly used for areas like the legs, arms, and face.
