Epilatory mixture for removing undesired hair, comprising between 25 and 82 wt. % fructan, between 1 and 45 wt. % of at least one separately added monosaccharide, between 0.5 and 15 wt. % of a C1-C12 diol, and between 2 and 35 wt. % of a starch hydrolysate, said epilatory mixture exhibiting epilatory efficacy and adherence to the skin and hair over a temperature range of from 0° C. to 45° C.
Epilatory mixture for removing undesired hair, said epilatory mixture exhibiting adherence to the skin and hair over a temperature range of from 0° C. to 45° C., wherein the mixture contains:
- 38% to 72% inulin having a DP ranging from 2 to 12,
- 2% to 25% fructose,
- 4% to 6% methylpropanediol,
- 7% to 22% starch hydrolysate with a dextrose equivalent value (D.E.) of minimum 10 and containing maximum 7% glucose,
- 0% to 1.5% glucose,
- 0% to 10% saccharose,
- 8% to 15% water,
- wherein the sum of the water and methylpropanediol ranges from 14% to 19.5% of the epilatory mixture and wherein the sum of the weight percentages adds to 100%.
