What Are Depilatory Ingredients?

Depilatory ingredients break down the keratin proteins that make up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair and makes it easier to remove. They are commonly found in hair removal creams, lotions, and other cosmetic products.
Depilatory ingredients only remove hair from the skin's surface, so they may not be as sufficient as waxing to remove coarse hair or hair with deeper roots.
