The composition of the cream and gel for hair removal includes special substances (calcium and potassium thioglycollate), which contribute to the rapid destruction of disulfide bridges. Due to caustic soda, the process of penetration of active substances into the hair structure is significantly accelerated. When exposed to such agents, the hair curls and falls out - all that remains is to remove it with a special cosmetological scraper.

Depilatory creams are made on the basis of alkaline substances, due to which keratin liquefies and destroys the hair structure. Depending on the type of cream, the composition also includes the following components:

• thioglycollates that destroy keratin;
