<p>A permanent hair growth-breaker composition (two active ingredients combined together in a single formulation) effective to prevent re-growth of unwanted hair from an area of skin from which said unwanted hair is removed by plucking from its roots comprises the following constituents in the stated proportions: zinc (elemental or as salt) 0.0001 to 10 g/100 ml, copper (elemental or as salt) 0.0001 to 10 g/100 ml, with excipient to a total volume of 100 ml. The composition may be formulated as a solution, lotion, cream, ointment, gel or similar which enables it to be kept at the site of application for a predetermined period. Optional constituents include viscosity builders for thickening; emollients/humectants to enhance skin feel; stabilisers to reduce interaction with other constituents; essential oil fragrance and colouring. Undesired hair is plucked from its roots by, for example, waxing, sugaring, use of tweezers or machines which grip the hair and pluck it from its roots. If necessary, hair plucking and application of the composition may be repeated a number of times until permanent prevention of hair re-growth is achieved.</p> |
