PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a depilatory which has low irritation, can simply be removed from the skin and is excellently handled. SOLUTION: This depilatory is obtained by applying a depilatory composition which comprises one or more kinds of tackifiers such as a terpene resin, terpene phenol resin, rosin resin, resin acid alcohol, polyvinyl methyl ether, etc., preferably liquid at 70 deg.C, a water-soluble wax such as a polyoxyethylene hardened castor oil, etc., and an emulsifying agent such as a sorbitan fatty acid ester, glycerol fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene hardened castor oil, etc., but not a solvent to a substrate. When the depilatory composition is brought into contact with water, the composition is emulsified, becomes clouded and is readily washed away from the skin.
