Described herein are benzoyl peroxide compositions useful in the treatment of acne and other skin conditions, which exhibit enhanced stability, even under accelerated conditions. The compositions also exhibit reduced color formation, reduced irritation, and enhanced moisturizing properties. They can be formulated into a topical aerosol foam with inert, non-flammable propellants, such as hydrofluoroalkanes, and may be used in cosmetics or pharmaceuticals. Additionally, methods of formulating these compositions are described. |
