Definitions
- This invention relates to an epilatory composition, its manufacture and use.
- compositions formed of viscoelastic materials are well known.
- the viscoelastic materials may in certain embodiments be rosinous materials. In other embodiments they may be sugar-based.
- the epilatory compositions may be supplied in the form of strips, retained between cellophane sheets.
- the cellophane sheets may have coatings of polyvinyl chloride, which acts as a barrier preventing the composition, or components of it, from migrating through the sheets; and also having the correct adhesive properties for use.
- the user peels away one of the cellophane sheets, presses the epilatory strip firmly onto the area to be plucked, then pulls one end of the remaining cellophane sheet sharply away from the area.
- the hairs trapped in the composition are removed from the treated area along with, optimally, all of the composition, still attached to the remaining backing strip.
- a composition may be warmed, and then applied to the skin by means of a spatula or other applicator. Strips of fabric are then applied so that they adhere to the epilatory composition. The strips are then pulled sharply to remove the epilatory material, and hair, from the skin.

- Preferred particulate materials for use in the present invention are siliceous materials. Especially preferred is fumed silica.
- Fumed silica is currently manufactured in a process that involves flame hydrolysis of silicon tetrachloride, in an oxy-hydrogen flame. It is a colloidal form of silica having silanol groups, able to participate in hydrogen bonding. Fumed silica typically comprises colloidal particles of mean diameter 1-200 nm. Preferably the fumed silica is of mean diameter 5-100 nm, more preferably 10-50 nm. The external surface area is typically in the range 15-380 m 2 /g. Fumed silicas are typically non-porous and thus have no internal surface area. They may be hydrophobic and of use in the present invention but preferred fumed silicas for use in the present invention are hydrophilic.
- the epilatory composition may suitably comprise up to 40%, preferably up to 20%, of other components, which may include one or more of a natural wax, a fragrance, a polymer, an essential oil, a silicone oil, a colorant, an anti-oxidant or a paraffin or mineral oil.
- the epilatory composition is such that its elastic modulus exceeds its viscous modulus at all frequencies up to 0.1 rad/s at 50° C.
- the elastic modulus of the epilatory composition exceeds its viscous modulus at all frequencies up to 1 rad/s at 50° C., more preferably at all frequencies up to 2 rad/s at 50° C.
- the elastic modulus may exceed the viscous modulus at all frequencies up to 20 rad/s at 50° C.
- the elastic modulus Preferably at certain higher frequencies (representative of the rapid removal of the epilatory composition from the user's skin), the elastic modulus also exceeds the viscous modulus, at temperatures within the temperature range 20-50° C.
- the elastic modulus exceeds the viscous modulus (when measured at 35° C.) at a frequency of at least 10,000 rad/s, more preferably at a frequency at least 5,000 rad/s.
- the epilatory composition is such that, at ambient temperatures, at low frequencies of applied stress the elastic modulus exceeds the viscous modulus; at high frequencies of applied stress the elastic modulus exceeds the viscous modulus; and at moderate frequencies, in between, the viscous modulus exceeds the elastic modulus.
- the epilatory composition in transit and storage corresponds to the low frequency condition, and the non-viscous nature of the composition aids shape stability in storage and transit;
- the application of the epilatory composition to the skin corresponds to the moderate frequency condition, and the viscous nature of the composition aids application and good contact with hair and skin; and pulling the epilatory composition sharply from the skin corresponds to the high frequency condition, the non-viscous, glassy nature of the composition aiding effective hair removal.
- the transition between the low frequency condition and the moderate frequency condition is known as the gel point.
- the transition between the moderate frequency condition and the high strain rate condition is known as the glass transition.
- the elastic modulus G′ (sometimes known as the storage modulus) corresponds to the energy which can be stored and released by a bulk material.
- the viscous modulus G′′ (sometimes known as the loss modulus) corresponds to the energy dissipated by a bulk material due to friction between its macromolecules when it is deformed.
- ⁇ . is the stress amplitude
- ⁇ . the strain amplitude
- ⁇ is the out-of-phase coefficient.
- the measurements quoted later are based on studies carried out into the rheology of the viscoelastic compositions in order to obtain a better understanding of their adhesive behaviour and their suitability as epilatory materials. These studies involved subjecting the materials to dynamic investigations in which a sinusoidal strain at defined frequencies was applied to the materials and the resulting output force was measured. In these studies a stress control rheometer was used, the SR rheometer commercially available from the company Rheometrics, using parallel plate geometry of 25 mm in diameter. The output force was found to include an in-phase elastic component G′ and an out-of-phase viscous component G′′. The output force can be expressed as follows.
- G′ Within the linear stress-strain domain of the material G′ is desirably lower than G′′ at moderate frequency oscillation in order to prevent the material cracking and to ensure that the material has strong adhesion at the material/hair interface.
- the values of G′ and G′′ at moderate frequency oscillation are a measure of how readily the material wets the hairs. Moderate frequency oscillation is a long time process and corresponds to the time when the material is being applied to the skin. The lower values of G′ and G′′ at this moderate frequency, the better the material wets the hairs. Thus the hairs become well embedded in the material in a very short time (ie the time needed for spreading the material on the skin).
- G′ should be higher than G′′ at high frequency oscillation (which mimics the action of the user in rapidly pulling the strip from the body) in order to remove hairs efficiently. Also, at low frequency oscillation, or no oscillation, G′ is preferably higher than G′′, in accordance with this invention, in order to obtain the benefit of enhanced stability, even when warm.
- the composition is of an elastic nature when unstressed.
- the composition is of a viscous nature when moderately stressed, for example on application to the skin.
- the composition is of an elastic nature when highly stressed, for example on removal from the skin (as by abrupt pulling).
- the epilatory composition By ensuring that the epilatory composition satisfies the above parameters, it can be readily applied to the skin at body temperature, yet it is very efficient at removing hairs from the skin and, surprisingly, the user experiences less pain.
- references in this specification to a material not under applied stress are to a material in the form of a flat sheet, resting on a horizontal surface.
- the epilatory composition of the present invention may be provided in a container, from which the user removes it using, for example, a spatula or an applicator fitted to the container, and applies it to the skin.
- a fabric can then be used to pull the applied material in one piece from the skin.
- the epilatory composition is supplied in the form of strips, sandwiched between sheets, for example of cellophane, or paper or another non-woven material. In use, one sheet is removed from a strip of epilatory composition and that strip is then applied to the skin with the remaining sheet uppermost. The end of that sheet is grasped and pulled sharply, to remove the strip of epilatory composition from the skin, along with hairs with which it is in contact.
- an epilatory composition of the invention is mildly acidic, for example having a pH in the range 4.5-6.5, preferably 5-6.
