A composition including an aqueous hair perm formulation, the aqueous hair perm formulation including an emulsion. The emulsion includes an active agent capable of reducing disulfide cysteine bond linkages in hair, an emulsifying agent, and an oil agent. A method, including producing a permanent hair wave or texture. Producing the permanent hair wave or texture includes providing a composition including an aqueous hair perm formulation, the aqueous hair perm formulation including an emulsion. The emulsion includes an active agent capable of reducing disulfide cysteine bond linkages in hair, an emulsifying agent, and an oil agent. Producing the permanent hair wave or texture also includes applying the aqueous hair perm formulation to a subject's hair.

The invention is directed to a composition suitable for topical application that comprises a naturally derived preservative having benzoic acid or a derivative thereof. The composition is stable when preserved with the naturally derived preservative and when at a pH that is above the natural pH of skin to as high as 7.25.
