Abstract
A cosmetic composition for topical application to the skin and/or hair includes, optionally in a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, particles which enclose a cosmetically-effective benefit agent active at a target location accessible by application to the skin and/or hair, and which have means to bind to an organic surface at the target location. In particular, the particles are liposomes and have means for binding to microorganisms present on the skin and/or hair, for example those responsible for skin disorders, scalp irritation, and underarm and foot odour.
