    This document summarizes a depilatory cream formulation based on Crodafos CES, an emulsifying and conditioning wax originally developed for hair relaxers. Crodafos CES promotes the release of oil and water from the emulsion, reducing skin irritation potential during hair removal. Calendula oil is included to soothe skin while providing a marketing benefit. The cream is applied to clean, dry skin for 5-8 minutes and removed with warm water.

    Development formulation

    Calendula Depilatory Cream C1921


    This depilatory cream is based on Crodafos CES, a finely-balanced complex blend of fatty
    alcohol and phosphate esters, which was originally developed as an emulsifying and
    conditioning wax for high pH hair relaxer systems. Emulsions based on Crodafos CES exhibit
    thixotropy (shear thinning), promoting the combined release of oil and water from the system.
    Crodafos CES is particularly useful for depilatory products where rapid penetration of the
    hydroxide ion results in shorter contact times and significantly lower skin irritation potential. The
    inclusion of Calendula oil, an extract of Marigold flowers, soothes dry skin whilst generating an
    attractive marketing claim.

    water.

    Non-warranty
    This formulation has been subjected to limited stability tests and has been shown to perform well. However formulators adopting this approach should ensure to
    their own satisfaction long term stability and functionality. It is good practice to conduct safety tests on all final formulations prior to marketing. Suggested uses should
    not be taken as an inducement to infringe any existing patents.
