Abstract
A body spray assembly includes a container which has an upright position and that is at least partly transparent. A liquid composition in the container is sprayed from the container with a manual spray pump. The composition has an oil phase, an aqueous phase and pigment in the form of particles which are effective to form the oil phase into stable droplets that remain in a droplet layer in the aqueous phase after the composition is allowed to stand for a period of time. The droplets are at least partly visible in the container. The spray pump is free of any plastic parts that extend into the droplet layer when the container is in its upright position to avoid rupturing the stable droplets by contact with these parts. The oil phase contains substantially pure fragrance which is free of solubilizer so that the formation of pearls can occur in the container and does not cloud the aqueous phase.
