Personal care composition comprising an effective amount of a zinc containing material; a surfactant; a cationic, or a nonionic thickening polymer, or a mixture thereof. The present invention may be a multi-phase personal care composition comprising: at least two phases wherein at least one of the phases comprises an effective amount of a zinc containing material, at least one surfactant, and at least one cationic or nonionic thickening polymer, or a mixture thereof, and the at least two phases are visually distinct phases that are packaged in physical contact and maintain stability. In the present invention, the at least one cationic or nonionic thickening polymers, or mixtures thereof, does not bind completely to the zinc ions from the zinc containing material. |
