Abstract
An epilatory composition, substantially provided as flat strips, comprises a gel-like matrix material, for example a rosin-based or sugar-based material and, mixed with the matrix material, a particulate material, for example colloidal particles of fumed silica, and a polyethylene in the form of a homopolymer. The particles reduce the tendency of the epilatory composition to flow, under warm ambient conditions with improved efficacy over known epilatory compositions.
