Abstract: A composition for topical application in the auditory canal is provided. The composition includes 5% to 40% by weight on the total weight of the composition of an ester of vitamin E with a carboxylic acid of formula R—COOH, in which R is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 19 carbon atoms, or an alkenyl or alkynyl radical having from 2 to 19 carbon atoms, and an oily vehicle selected from the group of hydrogenated polyisobutene, hydrogenated polydecene and mixtures of hydrogenated polyisobutene and/or hydrogenated polydecene with hydrogenated polyolefins, in particular hydrogenated C6-C14 hydrogenated polyolefins, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclopentasiloxane, and mixtures thereof. The composition can be used to remove earwax from the auditory canal as well as to normalize the epithelium of the auditory canal in cases of friction stress in individuals wearing hearing aids or in individuals using earplugs as hearing protection.
