Click here for a Formula 103- Before and After
In the past, Treasured Locks has not
recommended depilatories to prevent the razor bumps that plague so many
black men. Old-fashioned depilatories are so hard on the skin that they
often cause more problems than they prevent. We have offered other
solutions that have helped many men use a razor again or for the first
time. However, with the discovery of Formula 103, we can offer a
razorless alternative to those men who want to use a chemical shave
system, for whatever reason.
Formula 103 is a
depilatory developed especially for the shaving needs of
African-American men.
Formula 103 is formulated to be soothing and healing for men's skin.
Formula 103 Facial Hair Removal Cream softens the hair and dissolves it
without damaging the root. It also moisturizes the skin so much that
you will not even need an after shave. Consequently, the formation of
bumps is prevented. Perfected after six years of intensive laboratory
research and testing in five countries, Formula 103® Facial
Hair Removal Cream can remove even the coarsest hair. Formula 103 has a
unique herbal fragrance.
In
2008, Halsik began working on yet another reformulation of Formula 103.
While Formula 103 was already the best depilatory on the
market,
they knew they could make it even better. The original
formula leapfrogged the depilatories currently on the market, providing
men who had used a depilatory in the past with a far superior
alternative. The next goal for Halsik, one even more
ambitious, was to develop a product for men who had never used a
depilatory before. The goal- irritation free shaving.
In 2009, the new
Formula 103 is ready for distribution. The new Formula 103 is
as
much better than the previous version as the previous version was
better than any other depilatory on the market.
Differences between new formula
and prior version:
- The
constitution of the new and improved
formula is an almost 60% herbal formulation. The result is
the
product is even milder and gentler on the skin. This makes it
virtually
irritation free. Even men with sensitive skin can use the new
formula.
- Formula 103 has achieved a
breakthrough in the
industry by the addition of an herbal fragrance. If you
remember
the old days of depilatories that had an odor that would run the family
out of the house, you were thrilled by the reduced smell of the
previous version of Formula 103. The new and improved formula
takes another leap forward with no unpleasant odor at all.
- Test
subjects also reported improved consistency of results.
