Disclosed are skin care compositions containing retinoids which generally improve the quality of the skin, particularly human facial skin. More particularly, the present invention relates to retinol containing skin care compositions with improved skin compatibility.

Skin care compositions

Disclosed are topical compositions providing a high level of hydration and which comprise a vitamin B compound and a conditioning component for regulating the condition of skin.

Cosmetic composition for topical application to the skin comprising a hydroxyalkyl cyclodextrin, salicylic acid or salicylic acid derivative and water. The compositions herein provide improved anti-acne/anti-inflammatory activity together with reduced skin irritation.

Cosmetic compositions

The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for topical application comprising a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutical active, and from about 0.1% to about 10.0% of a high molecular weight cationic polymer. These compositions provide enhanced penetration of the pharmaceutical active.

Enhanced skin penetration system for improved topical delivery of drugs

The present invention is for long lasting, physically stable, moisturizing lipstick compositions essentially free of water. Said lipsticks contain lipophilic materials with high levels of moisturizers distributed throughout. Said lipsticks resist separation of the moisturizing material from the body of the lipstick.

Moisturizing lipstick compositions

The present invention relates to moisture absorbing body powder compositions. Through careful formulation of the powder carrier, the present invention also provides moisture absorbing body powders with surprisingly good skin feel characteristics. The powder carrier which provides the good skin feel characteristics comprises skin feel components selected from the group consisting of: starch, metallic stearates, fatty acid derivatives, nylon, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, and platelet-shaped powders.

Highly absorbent body powders

The present invention relates to oil-in-water emulsion compositions that are useful for personal cleansing and for depositing an active ingredient upon the skin surface. The active ingredient in these compositions has a solubility parameter from about 7 to about 13. A preferred active ingredient is salicylic acid.

Personal cleansing compositions containing alkoxylated ether and

The present invention is directed to topical compositions for regulating the oil and/or shiny appearance of mammalian skin which comprise: a) from about 1% to about 10% of an active for regulating the oil and/or shiny appearance of mammalian skin which consists essentially of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of niacinamide, panthenol, and pantothenic acid; and b) a cosmetically acceptable carrier for the active.

Topical compositions for regulating the oily/shiny appearance of skin

An aqueous foaming cosmetic composition comprising (a) from 0.1 to 7% of an imidazolinium amphoteric surfactant, (b) from about 0.1% to about 5.0% of a polyol alkoxy ester wherein the ratio of (a):(b) is from about 15:1 to about 1:1 and wherein the cleansing composition has a viscosity of at least about 150 cps (Brookfield RVT, Spindle No TB, 10 rpm, 25.degree. C.). The composition has improved foam stability, together with excellent cleansing performance and mildness. It is suitable for use as make-up and facial cleansers, foam bath, shower products, shampoos etc.

Cosmetic compositions comprising an imidazolium derivative and a

Disclosed are skin care compositions containing a vitamin B.sub.3 compound which generally improve the quality of the skin, particularly human facial skin. More particularly, the present invention relates to niacinamide containing skin care compositions with improved skin compatibility.

The present invention relates to leave on, skin care compositions, comprising: (A) from about 0.001% to about 20% of an active ingredient, (B) from about 1% to about 20% of a stable, hydrophobic, structuring agent selected from the group consisting of saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 fatty alcohols, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 fatty alcohols containing from about 1 to about 5 moles of ethylene oxide, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 diols, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 monoglycerol ethers, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acids, and mixtures thereof, having a melting point of at least about 45.degree. C.; and (C) from about 0.05% to about 10% of a hydrophilic surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof, and (D) from about 25% to about 98.949% water. These compositions are useful for delivering a wide variety of active ingredients to the skin.

Stable topical compositions

The present invention relates to compositions for treating acne and other skin lesions and also to methods of treatment utilizing these compositions. These compositions and methods of treatment employ benzoyl peroxide, a compound for reducing the skin irritation associated therewith, and a topical carrier.

Dermatological compositions and method of treatment of skin lesions

The invention involves pharmaceutical compositions for topical application comprising:
