A multi-phase surface cleaning composition. A first phase comprises an acidic cleaning formulation. A second phase comprises an alkaline cleaning formulation. The second phase includes a synthetic clay component.

Composition

An epilatory composition of the adhesive type comprises: a. from 50 to 90 percent by weight of a rosinous material or hydrocarbon resin; b. from 0.5 to 20 percent by weight of water, and c. an emulsifier and/or surfactant. The composition is particularly suitable for heating, prior to application to the skin, in a domestic microwave oven.

Epilatory compositions

An epilatory composition of the adhesive type comprises a gel-like matrix material, for example of a rosin-based or sugar-based material, together with 0.1-5 wt % of a branched polyalkene, for example polyisobutene. The resulting compositions offer skin care benefits while maintaining excellent viscoelastic and adhesive properties.

A preformed epilatory strip comprises a matrix material that includes a mixture of a major amount&#x2014;at least 60 wt %&#x2014;of a sugar-based material and a minor amount&#x2014;1 to 30 wt %&#x2014;of a rosinous material. Optionally a particulate material, for example fumed silica, is present.
