Abstract

The process consists in incorporating into the preparations enzymes called lipoxygenases together with their substrate named linoleic acid. The excipients of these preparations are chosen in a way as to ensure preservation of the active agents, easy spreading and rapid cutaneous absorption. The preparations from the invention are used to progressively reduce the growth of body hair after depilation. This reduction is perceptible after several depilatory operations followed by the application of these preparations.
