Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for delivering substates for a depilatory product using an enzymatically generated peracid. More specifically, a two component system is provided comprising (a) a first non-aqueous composition comprising a solid source of peroxygen, an ester substrate, and an optional organic cosolvent and (b) an aqueous component having a pH of at least 4 comprising an enzyme catalyst having perhydrolytic activity and a buffer. The perhydrolytic enzyme catalyst may be in the form of a fusion protein comprising a perhydrolytic enzyme coupled through an optional peptide linker to a peptidic component having affinity for hair. |
