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.

Stable personal care compositions containing a retinoid

A skin cleansing composition is provided. The skin cleansing composition comprises from about 0.1% to about 15%, by weight, of a plurality of biodegradable abrasive particles. The biodegradable abrasive particles comprise a safe and effective amount of polyhydroxy alkanoate (PHA) biodegradable polymeric material and comprise a particle size range from 10 &#x3bc;m to 1500 &#x3bc;m. The composition also comprises a multimodal particle size distribution of the biodegradable abrasive particles. The composition further comprises a dermatologically acceptable carrier.

Skin cleansing compositions comprising biodegradable abrasive particles

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

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.

The present invention relates to a non-emulsified personal cleansing composition comprising a cleansing component further comprising a lathering surfactant and water; and an insoluble skin conditioning component, wherein the insoluble skin conditioning component has an interfacial tension index of less than about 150% in the cleansing component. The invention also encompasses methods for cleansing and conditioning the skin or hair using these products.
