Veet

Veet is a brand of hair removal products marketed for women and men. It is produced by Reckitt Benckiser (RB) and sold in many markets worldwide. Veet products are primarily depilatories, offering temporary hair removal by dissolving keratin in the hair above the skin. The brand is a prominent option within RB’s consumer care portfolio.

Veet’s product range includes body and facial depilatory creams formulated for different skin types, such as sensitive skin and dry skin variants, often with moisturizing additives and different fragrances. The line also encompasses waxing strips and ready-to-use waxing kits branded under Veet. Regional variants may target specific areas like the bikini line, underarms, or male grooming needs.

How Veet works and safety considerations: Depilatories use thioglycolate salts to break down the keratin structure of hair. Users apply the product, wait a prescribed time, and remove it along with the hair. A patch test 24 hours before first use is advised to check for skin reaction. Users should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and not apply to broken or irritated skin. After use, the area should be rinsed thoroughly with water, and sun exposure should be avoided for a period. Keep products out of reach of children and follow all product-specific instructions and timing.

Market presence and regulatory notes: Veet competes with other depilatory brands in the personal care market and has undergone formula and packaging edits over time. Depilatory products carry safety guidelines emphasizing skin sensitivity testing and adherence to recommended usage times.
