Abstract: Cosmetic kits comprising at least two separated components are provided. The at least two separated components comprise, in one component, a self-tanning agent, and in the other, a reactive skin care active. The cosmetic kits provide increased skin health benefits when both components are applied to the skin simultaneously or successively.

Abstract: The method of imparting color to skin comprising applying to the skin a cosmetic compositions comprising an alpha-hydroxyaldehyde self-tanning agent and a water-soluble vitamin B3 compound as a self-tanning composition are provided. The cosmetic compositions are useful for imparting a natural, even and durable tan to the skin when topically applied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to silicone elastomer emulsion cosmetic compositions that comprise an internal phase the further includes a colorant. These compositions are intended to deliver such colorant ingredients to the skin of the user in such a manner as to provide a smooth and even colored appearance. In particular, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising an emulsion that further comprises: a) a continuous aqueous phase comprising: 1) from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of a non-emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer; b) a dispersed oil phase comprising: 1) from about 1% to about 25%, by weight of the composition, of an oil compatible colorant; and 2) from about 0.01% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of a binder; and c) from about 0.01% to about 15%, by weight of the composition, of an emulsifier.

Abstract: Stable topical compositions having a pH of from 3.5 to 4.5 comprising a self-tanning agent, a polymer and a polyhydric alcohol humectant. The compositions of the present invention are highly stable, and deliver high levels of active self-tanning agent to the skin upon topical application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method of using a rinsable personal care composition containing shiny particles and a skin compatible oil phase. Preferably, the shiny particles are hydrophobically modified interference pigments. The inventors have found that hydrophobically modifying the particles significantly improves the deposition of the particles on skin from rinsable compositions.

Abstract: Topical compositions comprising gold particulates and silver particulates that impart unique colour and reflectance changes to the skin when applied are provided.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions in the form of oil-in-water emulsions are provided that comprise high levels of water-soluble skin benefit agents. The compositions herein have reduced tack that is associated with high levels of water-soluble skin benefit agents. The cosmetic compositions comprise cross-linked co-polymers that reduce the tack associated with such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a personal care composition comprising a three dimensional gel polymeric network comprising:

Abstract: Pigmented cosmetic formulations comprising a silicone gel comprising an entrapped, occluded or encapsulated pigment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to silicone elastomer emulsion cosmetic compositions that comprise an internal phase the further includes a colorant. These compositions are intended to deliver such colorant ingredients to the skin of the user in such a manner as to provide a smooth and even colored appearance.
