A stable skin care composition comprising high interfacial phase emulsification system (HIP) in complex with � carotene and lycopene such that � carotene and lycopene are in weight ratio of 80:20.The complex has pH of 4 to 9 being formed at 8000 to 12, 000 RPM for 30 seconds to 30 minutes. A process to prepare a stable skin care composition comprising steps of, mixing of high interfacial phase emulsification system in an amount of 0.0001-0.001 % w/w, and combination of � carotene and lycopene in a ratio by weight of 80:20, stirring the said mixture at 8000-12,000 RPM for 30 seconds to 30 minutes to prepare a stable complex for skin care formulation and maintaining the pH of the complex of 4-9.[IN-KOL-2011-01336A]
