Chemical Hair Removers Go Organic

Here’s a story that shows cosmetic manufacturers might be taking the “organic” concept a little too far. Cosmetic design is reporting that depilatory makers are launching products that are supposed to be organic. They can dress these formulas up in all the botanical and herbal ingredients they want, but without the thioglycolic acid it’s not going to remove much hair. And there isn’t much natural about thioglycolic acid. (I gotta admit, though, “Nair Natural” has a nice ring to it.)

I do sugaring, a very natural way to wax with a homemade recipe made from honey, lemon juice and sugar that is boiled until caramel in appearance and then cooled down a little so I don’t scald my legs.
KellyMac Says:

I am one of the unfortunate soles who still uses a depilatory cream. I have a slight mustache, and it embarrasses the heck out of me. Waxing isn’t an option because the hair has to be “so long” for the wax to work. I have been considering laser hair removal for quite some time, but don’t know how expensive and/or painful that could be.
JuJu Says:

I use Nair regularly and I use a razor for touch -ups. I’ve never waxed because I don’t want have the growing out period.The formulas are sooo much better now.
Ninjarina Says:

I sugar my underarms and I get my upper lip and eyebrows threaded. Just don’t do it around your period unless you like pain.
LipstickFace Says:

Depilatories? Eeeek! (faint!) I’m getting ingrown hairs just *remembering* using them! I’m a waxer, baby! With depilatories, I have stubble at the end of the day, just like with a razor, so if I were going to depilate, I may as well just use a razor and trade the awful smell for blood instead (shiver) I’d forgotten depilatories even exist. (WHY do they still exist? Why are they preferable to razors? Are they for the fumble-fingered who *will*, guaranteed, knick themselves?)
Margaret Says:

As my age goes over 50, the hair on my face grows more. I would love to find a depilatory that is gentle & works. Is waxing the best idea? If so, is there a “better” brand of this product?
