Mousse dépilatoire

This 250 mL depilatory mousse from Laboratoires Orescience uses a blend of thioglycolic acid and potassium hydroxide to chemically break down keratin and lift unwanted hair for fast, at‑home removal. Calcium carbonate buffers the high pH while cetearyl alcohol and ceteareth‑20 provide a smooth, mousse‑like texture that reduces the gritty feel typical of many depilatory creams. However, the strong alkaline and acid components can cause irritation or burns on sensitive, broken, or overly dry skin, so a patch test and strict adherence to the recommended exposure time are essential.
