Abstract:
1. An anhydrous composition comprising a high molecular weight silicone component having a molecular weight between 100,000 and about 100,000,000 daltons and a low molecular weight silicone component, said low molecular weight silicone component consisting essentially of a low molecular weight linear silicone component, and wherein said composition further comprises a soluble or solubilized active component selected from the group consisting of retinoic acid, retinoic acid derivatives, retinal, retinol, retinyl esters and mixtures thereof; wherein the active component has increased stability when the composition is stored in a container for three months relative to the stability of the active component in an otherwise identical composition in which a cyclic low molecular weight silicone component is substituted for the low molecular weight linear silicone component and is stored in an identical container for the same period of time.
