Embodiments relate to a method of epilating a body surface includes
applying to the body surface an epilation composition having a first
shear storage modulus and a second shear storage modulus. The first shear
storage modulus is less than 0.1% of a second storage modulus. The first
shear storage modulus is measured at a first temperature and said second
shear storage modulus is measured at a second temperature. The first
temperature and the second temperature are no more than 10 Celsius
degrees apart, and the first temperature and the second temperature are
both within the range of 25.degree. C. and 50.degree. C. The method
further comprises removing the epilation composition in a manner
sufficient to epilate the skin.
