Abstract

A hair removal device is provided comprising a solid moisturizing composition, the solid moisturizing composition comprising:

• • a. A linear ABA block copolymer;
  • b. At least 50% moisturizing hydrophobic phase by weight of the solid moisturizing composition.

Claims

1. A hair removal device comprising a solid moisturizing composition, the solid moisturizing composition comprising:

a. a linear ABA block copolymer;

b. at least about 50% moisturizing hydrophobic phase by weight of the solid moisturizing composition.

2. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the solid moisturizing composition comprises from about 2% to about 15% linear ABA block copolymer by weight of the solid moisturizing composition.

3. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the solid moisturizing composition comprises from about 3% to about 12% linear ABA block copolymer by weight of the solid moisturizing composition.

4. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the linear ABA block copolymer is selected from the group consisting of styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-ethylenebutylene-styrene block copolymer and mixtures thereof.

5. The hair removal device of claim 4, wherein the linear ABA block copolymer comprises styrene-ethylenebutylene-styrene block copolymer.

6. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the moisturizing hydrophobic phase comprises emollient which is liquid, semi-solid or solid at room temperature.

7. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the solid moisturizing composition comprises from about 60% to about 95% moisturizing hydrophobic phase by weight of the solid moisturising composition.

8. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the solid moisturizing composition comprises from about 70% to about 90% moisturizing hydrophobic phase by weight of the solid moisturising composition.

9. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the moisturizing hydrophobic phase is selected from hydrocarbons, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, esters, triglycerides, fats, butters, waxes and mixtures thereof.

10. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the solid moisturising composition comprises from about 2% to about 20% wax by weight of the solid moisturising composition.

11. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the solid moisturising composition comprises from about 3% to about 15% wax by weight of the solid moisturising composition.

12. The hair removal device of claim 1, configured as a razor comprising at least one cutting blade.

13. The hair removal device of claim 12, wherein the solid moisturizing composition is configured as a strip disposed on one or both sides of the cutting blade.

14. The razor of claim 12, wherein the solid moisturizing composition is configured as a strip disposed after the cutting blade(s) in the cutting direction and wherein a lubricating strip comprising polyalkylene glycol is disposed before the cutting blades in the cutting direction.

16. The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the hair removal device comprises a light source, preferably a laser light source, to degrade or destroy the hair or hair root.

17. Use of a hair removal device of claim 1 to remove hair and moisturize the skin.

15. A razor comprising a solid moisturizing composition, the solid moisturizing composition comprising:

a. a styrene-ethylenebutylene-styrene block copolymer;

b. from about 60 to about 95% moisturizing hydrophobic phase by weight of the solid moisturizing composition.
