A method for reducing malodor in a skin care composition comprising the steps of: (a) formulating the skin care composition with a component with a malodor or an 5 ingredient that can degrade to yield a component with a malodor and (b) including in the skin care composition an insoluble particle and an adsorbable solvent, the component with a malodor being one suitable to hydrogen bond with the insoluble particle and/or be scavanged by the adsorbable solvent in an adsorbable solvent-insoluble particle complex 10 wherein the insoluble particle has a surface area from 75 to 3500 m2/g and the adsorbable solvent has a solubility parameter distance from the component with a malodor, Ra, of less than 20.
