A depilatory wax additive and process. The depilatory wax additive may modify a depilatory hard wax composition to include visual, olfactory, or skin treatment components. A depilatory wax additive may include molded hard wax component and glitter, a color modifier, a scent modifier, or a skin treatment. A preexisting hard wax composition of solid particles may be heated to a liquid. The depilatory wax additive may be added to the liquefied preexisting hard wax composition, mixed, and heated to disperse the glitter, a color modifier, a scent modifier, or a skin treatment in the wax mixture.

A method of treating a person's skin is disclosed. The method can include topically applying to the skin a composition comprising jojoba oil and an oil extract of Opuntia ficus-indica tuna or Opuntia ficus-indica nopales, or a combination thereof, to treat the person's skin.

Devices, systems, materials, and methods for contouring a volume of hair are described. A hair contouring device can include a contouring source. The contouring source can be configured to generate contouring electromagnetic radiation within a first energy range to induce a conformation change of a hydrogel formulation. The hair contouring device can include a fixing source. The fixing source can be configured to generate curing electromagnetic radiation within a second energy range to induce a photo-curing transition of the hydrogel formulation. The hair contouring device can include an input component. The hair contouring device can also include control circuitry, electrically coupled with the contouring source, the fixing source, and the input component. The control circuitry can be configured to receive an input from the input component and to control the contouring source or the fixing source in accordance with the input.

Disclosed are adhesives comprising a first compound comprising three or more 1,2-dihydroxybenzene groups; and a second compound that is a functionalized polymer; wherein the first compound and second compound are in the form of a mixture, and wherein the adhesive has adhesive properties when wet. Additional embodiments to methods of preparing an adhesive, adhesives prepared by the method, and articles prepared from the adhesive are disclosed.
