Abstract

Personal cleansing compositions comprise a cleansing phase comprising a surfactant and water; and a separate, substantially anhydrous benefit phase comprising a hydrophobic skin benefit agent. The cleansing phase and the benefit phase have substantially the same density; wherein the personal cleansing composition is in a form selected from the group consisting of liquid, semi-liquid, cream, lotion, gel, and mixtures thereof. The two phases are packaged in physical contact. These compositions and corresponding methods provide improved cosmetics, skin feel, and/or skin benefit efficacy.
