Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0150948A2] An applicator for applying a flowable depilatory chemical composition to the skin comprises a reservoir (10) charged with the composition, an applicator head (12) fastened to the reservoir having a flow passage for the composition leading from the reservoir to a mouth, and a generally cylindrical applicator roller (15) having an indented surface and journalled for rotation in the mouth. The reservoir (10) is removably connected to the applicator head (12) by a threaded neck (11) whose distal extremity is provided with a deformable circumferential flange (20) and the applicator head (12) has a bore (21) having a threaded portion that engages the neck (11) and that leads to a convergent portion (22) onto which the flange (20) seats as the applicator head (12) is screwed into position. The reservoir is charged with a flowable depilatory composition comprising up to 10% w/w of a sulphur-containing depilatory material, 0.5-30% w/w of an emulsifying wax to give an oils-in-water cream, 0.1-5% w/w of an inert cellulosic thickener that disperses in the aqueous phase and sufficient alkali to give a pH of 9.0-12.5 and also glucoheptanoic acid or a salt thereof and N-hydroxyethyl ethylene diamine triacetic acid or a salt thereof.
