Abstract:
1. A method of retaining moisture feel after treatment with a rinse-off, wet treatment composition which method comprises I) applying to wet skin during a bathing process a treatment composition comprising: II) rinsing off said composition subsequent to treatment; wherein said structured oil phase comprising bi) and bii) has a viscosity of 100 to 5000 poise measured at 1 sec-1 at 25° C.; wherein said oil phase is dispersed in said aqueous phase to form an oil-in-water emulsion having a weight average droplet size of 1-500 microns; wherein said structured oil phase is retained on the skin as measured by a skin retention efficiency index of at least 0.15 as determined in the in-vitro skin retention test; wherein said oil-in-water emulsion has a low irritation potential as measured by zein solubility below 0.3 as measured by the zein solubility test; and wherein said emulsion is low foaming as measured by a foam volume below 5 cc as measured in the solution shake test; and wherein retention of moisture is still measurable at least 30 minutes after said bathing process treatment.
