The term depilatory means 'removing the hair'. However, many chemical products that come in cream, lotion, powder, gel, roll-on or spray forms that get rid of hair are often called depilatories. In fact, most people think of these specific types of products when they hear or see the word depilatory.
These kinds of products work great for removing unwanted hair from different parts of the body. Hair removal products work by breaking down the protein structure of the hair shaft. These chemical depilatories come in gels, lotions, and creams and are very effective.
There are many chemicals used as active ingredients for hair removal in these kinds of products. Thioglycolate salts and sulfides are among the common active ingredients in hair removal products.
One of the most common and effective thioglycolate as a hair removal active ingredient is Kumar Organic’s Kopcolate. The chemical name of Kopcolate is Potassium thioglycolate. It is an organic compound used as a primary active ingredient in hair depilatory formulations. In an aqueous solution at the proper pH, it is converted to an acid which then affects the hair. It breaks down the disulfide bonds in Keratin and weakens the hair so that it is easily scraped off where it emerges from the hair follicle. The breakdown is affected by calcium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, which is present in excess to enable the thioglycolic acid to react with the cystine joining chains in hair protein.
