The Delivery System: Toothpaste’s Mild Action
The role of the toothpaste is multifaceted—it acts as a stabilizer, a mild abrasive, and a facilitator for the onion’s active ingredients.
Mild Abrasives (The Loosener): Standard white toothpaste (crucial, as gels may not have the same effect) contains mild abrasives like hydrated silica or calcium carbonate. These particles, when rubbed into the skin, provide a gentle physical exfoliation. This action helps to lift dead skin cells and physically loosen the hair from its follicle opening, aiding in its removal when the paste is rubbed off.
Drying Agents (The Follicle Shrinker): Many toothpastes contain ingredients that can have a mild drying effect. By drying out the hair and the top layer of the follicle, the hair may be less firmly anchored. The menthol often present also provides a temporary cooling and numbing sensation, contributing to the “painless” experience.
Binder and Carrier: The paste consistency of toothpaste is essential. It allows the onion juice to be evenly mixed, applied easily to the skin, and remain in place for the required duration, ensuring maximum contact time for the sulfur compounds to work their magic.
