Abstract: The present invention provides a topical composition that contains a water-soluble film-forming polymer, a bimodal copolymer comprising a first polymeric component with anionic functional groups and a second polymeric component with cationic functional groups, and one or more biological polymers that are derived from a source selected from the group consisting of animals, plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria or are biotechnologically synthesized. The first and second polymeric components of the bimodal copolymer form an interpenetrating polymeric network that interacts with the water-soluble film-forming polymer and the biological polymers to form a polymeric film with superior skin-firming and skin-toning effects. Such a topical composition can be applied to saggy or wrinkled skin for enhancing the appearance of the skin.
