             Application No. 10/007,869                                                                            

                    OH QUINOLINE, N LAURY1 SARCOSINE, LINALOOL, ALPHA IONONE and                                   
                    LINSEED OIL;                                                                                   
                    a first compartment for storing the first composition, wherein the first                       
                    compartment keeps the first composition out of contact with oxygen; wherein the                
                    first compartment is made out of aluminum; and                                                 
                    a second compartment for storing the second composition, the first and second                  
                    compartments being joined together;                                                            
                    thereby avoiding chemical degradation of said first composition that would be                  
                    caused by contact with said second composition.                                                

                    Since claim 16 was argued separately, it is reproduced below, along with                       
             independent claim 11 upon which it depends.                                                           

                    11. A stable skin care product comprising:                                                     
                    a first composition comprising about 0.001% to about 10% of a retinoid to provide              
                    a first benefit; said retinoid selected from a group consisting of retinyl esters,             
                    retinol, retinal, and mixtures thereof, a second composition comprising about                  
                    0.0001% to about 50% of at least one retinoid booster to boost the first benefit,              
                    said retinoid booster selected from the group consisting of CITRAL,                            
                    CITRONELLOL, climbazole, COCAMIDE DEA, DAMASCONE, GERANIOL, 18b                                
                    GLYCERHETINIC ACID, 8 OH QUINOLINE, N LAURY SARCOSINE,                                         
                    LINALOOL, ALPHA IONONE and LINSEED OIL;                                                        
                    a first compartment for storing the first composition, wherein the first                       
                    compartment keeps the first composition out of contact with oxygen, and a                      
                    second compartment for storing the second composition, wherein the second                      
                    compartment keeps the second composition out of contact with oxygen, wherein                   
                    the first and second compartments are made out of aluminum; and wherein the                    
                    first and second compartments are joined together,                                             
                    thereby avoiding chemical degradation of said first composition that would be                  
                    caused by contact with said second composition.                                                
                    16.  The stable skin care product according to claim 11, wherein said retinoid                 
                    booster is Climbazole, and wherein said product further comprises a second                     
                                                                                                                  
             1 N-Lauryl Sarcosine is a surfactant.  It is not clear from the application whether “Laury” is a typographical
             error, or whether “Lauryl” was intended.
