A colored facial masque is formed from a paste which is produced by mixing a dry powder masque component. The dry powder masque component includes a first water soluble colorant and said liquid masque component includes a second water soluble colorant, the colors of said first and second water soluble colorants differing from the color of the facial masque.

Improved compositions of benzoyl peroxide are prepared by at least partially dissolving benzoyl peroxide in diethylene glycol monoethyl ether to prepare a premixture which forms a flocculent composition of benzoyl peroxide when admixed with water or an aqueous medium. The improved benzoyl peroxide compositions have a small particle size compared with those prepared by conventional grinding techniques and the time and potential hazards associated with grinding are avoided. The small particle size of the benzoyl peroxide flocculents result in increased surface area of active ingredient on the skin for a given concentration of benzoyl peroxide. The flocculent compositions are used to prepare compositions for the topical treatment of acne or other dermatological disorders.

Benzoyl peroxide flocculent materials and methods of their preparation

Anhydrous vehicles for topical use, e.g. for use with topically active pharmaceutical agents, including antibiotics, anti-fungal agents, anti-inflammatory agents, antihistamines, antipruritics and local anesthetics, comprise principally from about 60 to about 90% by weight of at least one glycol solvent and from about 2 to about 20% by weight etherified saturated fatty alcohol having a total chain length of from 20 to 216 carbon atoms. The vehicles are substantially free of water, greasy substances and fatty alcohols having less than 16 carbon atoms. The vehicles have a cream-like consistency and can also incorporate suitable compatible plasticizers, coupling agents, penetrants and the like.
