Abstract:
1. A cosmetic cold-wax depilatory composition produced by a process comprising: (1) mixing a water soluble hair binding agent, a water soluble cross-linking agent for the hair binding agent, and a water soluble crystallization inhibitor, (2) heating the mixture to a temperature of 80 to 95 degrees Celsius for 30 to 45 minutes, and (3) allowing the resulting product to cool to room temperature wherein the water soluble hair binding agent is selected from the group consisting of sucrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, corn syrup, honey, molasses, and combinations thereof, and wherein the water soluble crystallization inhibitor is a liquid at 25 degrees Celsius, and wherein the water soluble crystallization inhibitor comprises a polyhydroxy alcohol selected from the group consisting of diglycerol, triglycerol, tetraglycerol, pentaglycerol, hexaglycerol, polyglycerol and combinations thereof, and wherein the water soluble crystallization inhibitor has at leas six carbon atoms and at least four hydroxyl groups, said at least four hydroxyl groups being on the same side of the stereochemical configuration of said water soluble crystallization inhibitor, and wherein said cross-linking agent for the hair binding agent is phytic acid.
