Sure they are available in the market. I'm not exactly sure what is carcinogenic effect but I don' really like any hair removal cream kind of product. I prefer plucking... :D

Hi! I do not believe that hair removal creams are carcinogenic. Skin cancer is caused by sun damage. Unfortunately, most of the damage is incurred while we are still children. By the time we are grownups, the damage is done. It is worse in fair skinned people, but can happen to anyone, including african americans. Using a good UV protection will help, but again, the damage was most likely done long ago! Michele
