Abstract

The disclosed aspects and embodiments provide compositions, systems, and methods for applying a warming cosmetic composition in a manner that provides unexpected levels of temperature increase (on a per mass basis) and prevents aggregation of inorganic components of the composition. In one aspect, a composition is provided that includes an anhydrous medium and at least one exothermic heating agent, wherein the composition is configured to provide increased temperature when exposed to water sufficient to initiate an exothermic reaction and mixing energy, as compared to the composition when exposed to water in the absence of mixing energy.
