A method of reducing the feeling of vaginal dryness is provided. The method includes a female user suffering from vaginal dryness administering a vaginal care composition to her vaginal introitus and, optionally, external vaginal tissues. The vaginal care composition can comprise an oil-in-water emulsion and a silicone wax having a melting temperature of from about 24&#xb0; C. to about 50&#xb0; C. The vaginal care composition can also comprise silicone particles. The vaginal care composition can have a viscosity of from about 20,000 cps to about 200,000 cps.

Methods and compositions for reducing the feeling of vaginal dryness

Compositions for treating non-cornified epithelial tissue of a female body, such as the labia, introitus, and the vagina are disclosed. Methods of regulating dryness in these tissues are also disclosed.

Personal care composition comprising at least one extract selected from the group consisting of extracts of, and mixtures thereof, and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. Additionally or alternatively, the composition may comprise 2-hexyldecanol.

Personal care composition comprising botanical extract

Skin care compositions and methods for regulating the condition of mammalian keratinous tissue containing an effective amount of a dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline salt and a second skin care compound selected from hexamidine compounds, sugar amine compounds and their combination.

Compositions and methods for regulating mammalian keratinous tissue

Stable skin care compositions comprising dehydroacetic acid and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The dermatologically acceptable carrier comprises at least one oil, said oil having a solubility in water of about 5% or less and a solubility parameter of from about 7 to about 15, and the dehydroacetic acid is distributed primarily into said oil. The compositions have a pH of about 4.5 and below.

Low pH skin care compositions containing dehydroacetic acid

Skin care compositions and methods for regulating the condition of mammalian keratinous tissue containg an effective amount of a dialkanoyl hydroxyproline compound and a second skin care compound selected from hexamidine compounds, sugar amine compounds and their combination. These compositions may be either an emulsion or a solution wherin the dialkanoyl hydroxyproline compound may be converted to its salt for incorporation into the aqueous phase of a compositions.

The present invention relates to skin care compositions containing combinations of skin care actives and to methods of using such compositions to regulate the condition of skin. The compositions contain a safe and effective amount of amount of a peptide active selected from the group consisting of pentapeptides, derivatives of pentapeptides, and mixtures thereof; a safe and effective amount of at least one additional skin care active; and a dermatologically acceptable carrier.

Skin care compositions containing combination of skin care actives

The present invention relates to skin care compositions containing combinations of skin care actives and to methods of using such compositions to regulate the condition of skin. The compositions contain a safe and effective amount of a vitamin B3 compound; a safe and effective amount of a skin care active selected from farnesol, phytantriol, and mixtures thereof; and a dermatologically acceptable carrier.

UV protection compositions

The present invention relates to photostable compositions suitable for providing protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. The compositions provide excellent efficiency and broad spectrum UV efficacy while exhibiting improved photostability. Methods of use for these compositions are also disclosed. The present compositions comprise:

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

Disclosed are topical compositions comprising from about 0.01% to about 50% by weight of N-acetylcysteine or related compounds, from about 0.01% to about 0.5% by weight of selected combinations of certain perfume chemicals to effectively mask malodors associated with topical application of the N-acetylcysteine or related compounds on skin; and a cosmetically acceptable topical carrier. These topical compositions are useful for visibly improving the appearance of skin.
