Methods are disclosed for preparing shaped articles for application to skin and which may contain active and inactive substances including pheromones comprising skeletal-forming agents that are both protein and non-protein based. These shaped articles should exhibit sufficient cohesion, that is to say, mechanical strength, should dissolve readily in the course of application on the skin, and should result in a pleasant application sensation. Moreover, besides pheromones, these shaped articles should be suitable to receive various active substances, such as, in particular, cosmetic active substances and therapeutic or pharmaceutical active substances, and to act as carriers for such substances. The shaped articles may be applied to the dermis or hair of a subject or internally. |
