Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprises resorcinol, functionalized heteroaromatic compound, and a retinoic acid precursor. An effective way to improve the color stability of compositions comprising such skin benefit agents is desired. It has been found that alkylresorcinol, functionalized heteroaromatic compound, and retinoic acid precursor in combination with antioxidant, compatible oil and emulsifying polymer provide for improved color stability of the composition. The inventive composition thus relates to a composition comprising a synergistic combination of emulsifying polymer with alkylresorcinols, functionalized heteroaromatic compounds CA and retinoidsin combination with antioxidant and compatible oil.
