Abstract
Topical compositions, and particularly hydrophobic compositions include an essential oil in an amount effective to achieve substantially complete absorption of the composition in the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Especially preferred topical compositions may also include pharmaceutically active agents (e.g., polyphenol), additional essential oils, stabilizers, etc. In further preferred aspects, contemplated compositions may delay onset, or even prevent viral eruptions on the skin, and where applied as a lipstick, will increase reddening of the lip as well as reduce chapping.
