A topically applicable composition which comprises
- (i) at least one normally skin irritating agent which is contained in an amount which normally elicits skin irritation upon topical application to sensitive skin, wherein said agent is selected from the group consisting of an anti-bacterial agent, an antiparasitic agent, an antifungal agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an anti-pruriginous agent, an anaesthetic, an antiviral agent, a keratolytic agent, an anti-free-radical agent, an antiseborrhoeic agent, an antidandruff agent, an antiacne agent, an agent which modifies at least one of differentiation, proliferation and pigmentation of human skin;
- and
- (ii) from 0.0001% to 0.1% by weight of bradykinin antagonist which is HOE 140 (NH.sub.2 --D--Arg--Arg--Pro--Hyp--Gly--Thi--Ser--D--Tic--Oic--Arg--OH) effective to inhibit such irritation when said composition is topically applied to sensitive skin;
- and
- (iii) a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, diluent or carrier.
