Abstract
The present invention relates to a personal care composition containing a gel-network phase, a stability agent, a structured oil phase and an aqueous phase. This particular combination of materials, specifically gel-network emulsifiers in combination with stabilizing polymers, provide for products which have excellent application aesthetics and yet deposit significant levels of beneficial lipids even when rinsed off. Additionally, the present invention relates to a method of using a wet skin personal care composition that contains a gel-network phase, a stability agent, a structured oil phase and an aqueous phase.
