  • Publication number: 20080045428
    Abstract: Personal cleansing compositions comprise a cleansing phase comprising a surfactant and water; and a separate, substantially anhydrous benefit phase comprising a hydrophobic skin benefit agent. The cleansing phase and the benefit phase have substantially the same density; wherein the personal cleansing composition is in a form selected from the group consisting of liquid, semi-liquid, cream, lotion, gel, and mixtures thereof. The two phases are packaged in physical contact. These compositions and corresponding methods provide improved cosmetics, skin feel, and/or skin benefit efficacy.

  • Publication number: 20060210505
    Abstract: Multi-phase personal care compositions comprise a first phase and a second phase, wherein said first and second phases form a visually distinct pattern. The compositions are intended for moisturizing or conditioning skin or hair and comprise less than about 10%, by weight of the multi-phase personal care composition, of surfactant. Methods of moisturizing or conditioning skin or hair comprise the steps of wetting the skin or hair, applying the multi-phase personal care composition to the skin or hair, and rinsing the multi-phase personal care composition from the skin or hair. A process for making the multi-phase personal care composition comprises forming a first phase by premixing an oil/emollient benefit agent and oil-soluble colorant and then combining the premix with additional optional ingredients.
