want to know what's really in that bottle of nair?

well wired magazine tells us (and it's not like we didn't know this shite was in there)

.......Fragrances
Nair is loaded with a secret concoction of scents — and it's a good thing. Anyone who used the stuff in the 1970s will tell you it smelled like skunk juice. Today Nair smells sweet as it burns away unsightly stubble.

Potassium thioglycolate
That skunky stench is a signature attribute of this compound, a member of the perennially pungent thiol family. A sulfur-hydrogen atom group gives thiols their sharp scent. They eat into keratin (a skin and hair protein), which is what makes actual skunk spray (and Nair) lock onto human flesh and fuzz. If the process stopped there, the result would be a home perm — weakened hairs can be easily shaped into curls. .............
