[Lat. depilatis .] Act of pulling off the hair. Depilatory, a. Lat. depilator i us ; Fr. depilatoire.] Having the quality or power to take off hair, and make bald. -n. ( Med .) Any substance which will remove unnece ary hairs, or hair of any kind. The articles usually sold for this object contain arsenic, the most certain substance known for the purpose; but as any one of the ordinary nostrums requires to be used with great care, they should seldom, and, if po ible, never be employed, or when so, not permitted to remain long on the skin at one time. Caustic potash, and arsenic, or litharge, and quick-lime, form the bases of nearly all the preparations vended for this purpose. Depilatories act by entering the pores of the skin and destroying the bulbs of the hairs, causing them to fall off either directly or in a few hours. The only safe article of the sort is a pair of small tweezers, with which, like the Chinese, the hairs may be plucked out. There is a savage method, called the mechanical depilatory , in which a compost of plaster of Paris, or pitch, is spread over the part, and, when dry, plucked off, tearing the hair with the plaster.
