Abstract: Personal care compositions that include a stable O/W emulsion, a stable retinoid, an oil, a fatty alcohol, and an emulsifier and methods of using such compositions to regulate a condition of mammalian keratinous tissue. By combining the oil and retinoid at a particular ratio in the personal care composition, the stability of the retinoid can be improved.

Abstract: A skin care composition is provided that has an oil phase mixture and a water phase. The oil phase mixture has from about 5% to about 30% by weight of the composition, of a wax material and optionally from about 1% to about 20% by weight of the composition, of an oil that is liquid at room temperature. The oil phase mixture has a melting point of about 25° C. to about 50° C. The water phase has from about 0.1% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of a superabsorbent polymer and from about 20% to about 85% by weight of the composition of water. The composition also has from about 6% to about 30%, by weight of the composition, of particulate material selected from the group consisting of starch particles, silicone elastomer particles and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A thickened aqueous composition containing about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight, of an superabsorbent polymer, about 0.1% to about 20%, of a silicone elastomer; about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight, of a fatty alcohol; and from about 20% to about 98% of water.

Abstract: A skin care composition having from about 0.01% to about 5%, by weight, of an superabsorbent polymer which is a sodium polyacrylate, sodium polacrylate starch, sodium acrylates crosspolymer-2 or mixtures of these and a portion of the polymer comprises a grafted starch material. The superabsorbent polymer is particulate where the particles have an average particle size in the range of from about 5?-30?, and the individual particles in their dry or un-swollen condition are substantially non-spherical, flat, platelet, or elongated in shape. The particles have an absorption capacity of at least about 1000 times their initial dry or un-swollen volume. Additionally, the skin care composition contains from about 0.01-10% of a dry powder that is either starch or silicone based and wherein the dry powder is coated with a silicone based material. Further there is provided a UV active.
