Personal care compositions comprising at least one chronic skin care active selected from the group consisting of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), hexamidine, hexyl isobutyrate, menthyl anthranilate, methofuran, 3-butylidenepthalide, cetyl pyridinium chloride, green tea extract, catechins, phytosterols, ursolic acid, and plant extract compounds; at least one acute skin care active selected from the group consisting of particulate materials (including particles, pigments, and cross-linked silicone elastomers), panthenol, pantothenic acid derivatives, and tanning actives; and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The composition can also comprise the cationic thickener, Polyquaternium 37. The present invention also relates to methods of using such compositions to regulate hair growth and the condition of mammalian skin. Said methods generally comprise the step of topically applying the composition to the skin of a mammal needing such treatment, a safe and effective amount of such compositions.
