Abstract

Depilatory composition obtained by adding a predetermined volume of lemon juice to a predetermined mass of honey, then heating over low heat for a determined period and at a determined temperature until the composition has dried. This gives a perfectly dried paste which can then be applied directly by hand.

  "EPILATORY COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING

THIS COMPOSITION "

  The present invention relates to a depilatory composition. It also relates to a process for manufacturing this composition. The so-called oriental hair removal technique, which uses sugar-based compositions is commonly

  practiced for a very long time in many countries.

  Document CH 670 044 discloses a depilatory composition consisting of a supersaturated solution in water added with citric acid and honey. In this composition, honey is used for its properties of

  make the skin smooth and antiseptic.

  Document FR 2717384 describes a unitary element for preserving depilatory paste for oriental hair removal treatment, and an associated manufacturing method. The composition of this dough includes in particular sugar, honey or other sweet substance, the juice of a lemon and water, and heating on low heat is

recommended.

  However, it turns out from experience that existing depilatory compositions based on honey and lemon juice

  are not suitable for easy use by hand.

  The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a depilatory composition designed so as to be easily applied by hand while providing better comfort for the person.

using this composition.

  This objective is achieved with a depilatory composition obtained by adding a predetermined volume of lemon juice to a predetermined mass of honey, then by heating over low heat for a period and at a

  temperature determined until drying.

  A depilatory composition for implementation which is practical and particularly easy to apply is thus obtained.

  by hand without the need for an application tool.

  According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a depilatory composition according to the invention, comprising the following steps: - adding a predetermined volume of lemon juice to a predetermined mass of honey , - heating over low heat to a determined temperature so as to avoid the formation of foam on the surface, until the composition has dried and obtained

  a completely dry dough.

  The mixture of lemon juice and honey is for example placed in an oil tank with brewer

during the heating sequence.

  We will now describe an example of manufacturing a depilatory composition according to the invention. Lemon juice is added to a mass of honey in a proportion corresponding to approximately 20 cm3 of

lemon in 1 kg of honey.

  This mixture is heated, placed in an oil tank equipped with a brewer, at a temperature above C for a sufficient time (for example, 8 hours for a mass of 25 kg of dough) to obtain a perfectly dried dough. The heating temperature is adjusted so as to avoid the formation of

foam on the surface of the mixture.

  A depilatory paste is then obtained which can be applied by hand to the epidermis of a patient. It should be noted that honey is a healing and calming product and that

  lemon helps slow hair regrowth.

  Of course, the invention is not limited to the example which has just been described and numerous modifications can be made to these examples without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the heating time depends directly on the mass of dough and the

  technical characteristics of the oil tank used.

  Furthermore, the relative amounts of lemon juice and

  honey can be significantly modulated around

  values recommended based on specific requests.
