Disclosed herein are compositions that can form covers, layers, films, devices, and/or artificial skins that can be comfortably deployed to provide skin barrier function, skin moisture content, and therapeutic and aesthetic benefits. The present invention provides novel compositions with low tackiness and rapid build-up resulting in an abrasion resistant, comfortable (maintaining temperature and humidity), breathable, thin, optically invisible, cosmetic finish on the skin or any other body surface Elegant, flexible, stretchable, elastic and body movement fit, and long lasting coverings, layers, films, devices and/or artificial skins.
