Abstract: A gel depilatory composition obtainable by mixing (a) a keratin reducing compound, (b) a hydrophilic high molecular compound having an ionic group, (c) a crosslinking agent and (d) water and has a high effect on the removal of body hairs and is decreased in odor peculiar to chemicals.

Abstract: The invention relates to disintegrating particles formed by agglomerating primary particles at least part of which are insoluble in water, wherein the agglomeration of the disintegrating particles is disintegrated in an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble salt by lowering the concentration of the water-soluble salt. The invention also relates to a cleanser or detergent composition that includes the disintegrating particles, a water-soluble salt at a concentration lower than its saturated solubility, a surfactant and water. The composition has excellent physical (mechanical) cleanability and stability with time and gives users a pleasant feeling upon use. The composition does not cause damage to and itch on the skin because the disintegrating particles are disintegrated during cleansing and rinsing, and it is extremely good in rinsability.
