Abstract

Methods of increasing skin chroma include applying a personal cleansing composition to the skin having a hydrophobic benefit agent.

Claims

1. A method of increasing skin chroma, the method comprising depositing about 5 μ

g/cm² or more of a hydrophobic benefit agent on the skin, wherein the hydrophobic benefit agent is deposited on the skin via a multi-phase personal cleansing composition and the skin chroma increases by about 0.3 units or more versus a water control at 3 hours after the last treatment where the composition is applied once a day for 3 or more days.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the skin chroma increases by about 0.7 units or more at about 3 hours after a last treatment.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the skin chroma increases by about 1.0 unit or more at about 3 hours after a last treatment.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the composition is applied to the skin for about 60 seconds or more.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the increase in chroma is measured at about 24 hours after the last treatment with the personal cleansing composition.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the composition is substantially free of a pigment.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the composition is free of a pigment.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the multi-phase personal cleansing composition comprises a cleansing phase comprising ST_nS or SLE_nS and a benefit phase comprising the benefit agent.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the hydrophobic benefit agent comprises a sucrose polyester.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the benefit phase further comprises a soy oligomer.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the hydrophobic benefit agent exhibits a total surface energy of about 20 mJ/m² to about 30 mJ/m² and a change in heat of fusion of about 50 J/g or less.

15. The method of claim 16, wherein the composition is applied to the skin for about 60 seconds or more.

16. The method of claim 19, wherein the composition is applied to the skin for about 90 seconds or more.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein about 5 μ

g/cm² or more of a hydrophobic benefit agent is deposited on the skin during application.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the composition is substantially free of a pigment.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the multi-phase personal cleansing composition comprises a cleansing phase comprising ST_nS or SLE_nS and a benefit phase comprising the benefit agent.

20. The method of claim 9, wherein the hydrophobic benefit agent comprises a sucrose polyester.

5. The method of claim 5, wherein the composition is applied to the skin for about 90 seconds or more.

13. A method of increasing skin chroma, the method comprising improving skin hydration by applying a multiphase personal cleansing composition comprising a benefit agent to the skin, wherein the level of hydration is in accordance with at least one of the following:

a Corneometer improvement of 0.3 Corneometer units or more as compared to a water control after treatment of at least once a day for at least 4 days when measured at 24 hours after the last treatment in accordance with the Corneometer Testing Method;

a dry skin grade improvement of about 0.4 units or more at 3 hours after the last treatment of at least once a day for at least 3 days versus the water control when measured in accordance with the Dry Skin Grade Method;

or a combination thereof.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein an increase in chroma versus the water control is measurable at 24 hours after the last of 4 treatments once a day for 4 days.
