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.
Formula 103 Features:
- Convenient and easy-to-use. No mixing. Total time takes no longer than shaving with a blade or with clippers.
- Soothing
- Formulated especially for black men
- Helps eliminate razor bumps
- Formulated with Herbal Extracts
