A physiological color indicator such as a pH indicator, a colorant or color indicator can be used, alone or in combination, to colorize the lotion in accord with the invention. The lotion is suitable for use in lotion, gel, mousse or medication that is best applied in an even and uniform manner to the skin. Accordingly, one preferred use of the invention is in UV-protection sunscreens so that a user can ensure even distribution of the sunscreen on the body. A sunscreen of the invention can also include an emollient, such as jojoba oil, an emulsifier, a surfactant, such as sorbitol, water, and a pH adjuster, such as triethanolaminie.
These risks, together with the continued desirability of the suntan look, have resulted in a wide range of UV protection sunscreen agents. Such sunscreen agents are typically suspended in a cream, lotion, gel, mousses, waxed based sticks, aerosols, and alcohol sticks for topical application to the skin. For example, the Coppertone� Company makes a large assortment of popular sunscreen lotions with varying degrees of sun block which extend the body's normal resistance to UV radiation.
Representative waxes also include: ceresin; cetyl esters; hydrogenated joioba oil; hydrogenated jojoba wax; hydrogenated rice bran wax; Japan wax; jojoba butter; jojoba oil; jojoba wax; munk wax; montan add wax; ouricury wax; rice bran wax; shellac wax; sufurized jojoba oil; synthetic beeswax; synthetic jojoba oils; trihydroxystearin; cetyl alcohol; stearyl alcohol; cocoa butter; fatty acids of lanolin; mono-, di- and 25 triglycerides which are solid at 25� C., e.g., glyceyl tribehenate (a triester of behenic acid and glycerine) and C1g-C36 acid triglyceride (a mixture of triesters of C1g-C36 carboxylic acids and glycerine) available from Croda, Inc., New York, N.Y. under the tradenames Syncrowax HRC and Syncrowax HGL-C, respectively; fatty esters which are solid at 25� C.; silicone waxes such as methyloctadecaneoxypolysiloxane and poly (dimethylsiloxy) stearoxysiloxane; stearyl mono- and diethanolamide; rosin and its derivatives such as the abietates of glycol and glycerol; hydrogenated oils solid at 25� C.; and sucroglycerides, Thickeners (viscosity control agents) which may be used in effective amounts in aqueous systems include: algin; carbomers such as carbomer 934, 934P, 940 and 941; cellulose gum; cetearyl alcohol, cocamide DEA, dsxtrin; gelatin; hydroxyethylcellulose; hydroxypropylcellulose; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; magnesium aluminum silicate; myristyl alcohol; oat flour; oleamide DEA; oleyl alcohol; PEG-7M; PEG14M; PEG-9OM; stearamide DEA; Stearamide MEA; stearyl alcohol, tragacanth gum; wheat starch; xanthan gum; and the like in the above list of thickeners, DEA is diethanolamine, and MEA is monoethanolamine. Thickeners (viscosity control agents) which may be used in effective amounts in nonaqueous systems include, aluminum stearates; beeswax; candelilla wax; carnauba; ceresin; cetearyl alcohol; cetyl alcohol; cholesterol; hydrated silica; hydrogenated castor oil; hydrogenated cottonseed oil; hydrogenated soybean oil; hydrogenated tallow glyceride; hydrogenated vegetable oil; hydroxypropyl cellulose; lanolin alcohol; myristyl alcohol; octytdodecyl stearoyl sulfate; oleyl alcohol; ozokerite; microcystalline wax; paraffin; pentaerythrityl tetraoctanoate; polyacrylamide; polybutene; polyethylene; propylene glycol dicaprylate; propylene glycol dipelargonate; stearalkonium hectorite; stearyl alcohol; stearyl stearate; synthetic beeswax; trihydroxystearin; trilinolein; tristearen; zinc stearate; and the like.
Generally, film formers can be used in amounts of about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the total composition with about 1% to about 8% being preferred and about 0.1�/O to about 5% being most preferred. Humectants can also be used in effective amounts, including: fructose; glucose; glulamic acid; glycerin; honey; maltitol; methyl gluceth-10; methyl gluceth-20; propylene glycol; sodium lactate; sucrose; and the like.
