Depilatories formulations

Uses. In the formulations of permanent wave solutions and depilatories in pharmaceutical manufacture as a stabilizer in vinyl plastics... 

For the same reason the addition of an oily phase to water-based products can help considerably in promoting perfume stability. Most perfume materials are far more readily soluble in fats and in oils than in water, and to the extent that the product formulation provides an oil or fat phase into which they can escape, they are sheltered from the attack by the hydroxy ions of bases, the hydrogen ions of acids, the oxidizing agents and enzymes—all of which operate only in the water phase. Hence cloudy cold wave lotions, which contain emulsified oil, are easier to perfume than clear ones, cream depilatories cause less severe problems than fat-free formulations, and so on.

Acids, alkalis, buffers, and neutralizers which maintain an acidity level that prevents skin irritation and maintains product formulation. As raw materials, including citric acid, ammonium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and tartaric acid, these are potential sources of corrosivity. Other cosmetics, like depilatories (cuticle and hair removers), are corrosive by function. 

Depilatories remove hair by chemical reaction. They contain a substance, usually sodium sulfide, calcium sulfide, or calcium thioglycolate, that disrupts the disulfide linkages in the hair and dissolves it. The formulations commonly contain a base such as calcium hydroxide to raise the pH and enhance the action of the depilatory. A detergent and a skin conditioner such as mineral oil are also generally added to depilatories.
