Nair is a brand of at-home hair removal products called depilatories, which are creams, lotions, or gels that temporarily remove unwanted hair on the face and body. Here are some details about different Nair hair removal creams and their ingredients:
-
Nair Hair Remover Face Cream: This cream is specifically designed for use on facial hair and includes sweet almond oil among its ingredients.
-
Nair Glide On Hair Removal Cream: This cream is designed for use on arms, legs, and the bikini area. Its ingredients include water, urea, mineral oil, potassium thioglycolate, calcium hydroxide, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, lanolin, sodium hydroxide, silica, and argania.
-
Nair Hair Remover Face Cream (Pack of 2): This cream is also designed for use on facial hair and includes ingredients such as water, mineral oil, calcium thioglycolate, cetearyl alcohol, calcium hydroxide, ceteareth-20, sodium hydroxide, and sweet almond oil.

Nair Prep & Smooth Face Hair Remover: This cream is formulated with soothing coconut milk and collagen for sensitive skin.
The active ingredients in Nair are salts of thioglycolic acid (potassium or calcium) and a base of calcium, potassium, or sodium hydroxide. These ingredients weaken the protein bonds holding hair fibers together, allowing the hair to be wiped away.
Positive aspects of Nair hair removal creams include their effectiveness and affordability. However, some people may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to the ingredients. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and do a patch test before using any hair removal product.
