| abstract |
The present description is directed to a protective skin formulation that is designed to be sprayed on human skin for the purpose of protecting the skin. In particular, an example formulation of the present description contains at least one carrier, a structuring agent and a skin protective agent. An example formulation contains a carrier comprising at least water, a structurant comprising at least one laponite clay, and a skin protective agent comprising petrolatum. Typically, the skin protective formulation will comprise at least about 30 percent by weight of a skin protective agent. A continuous spray dispenser can be used to apply the protective skin formulation to reduce the need for rubbing since the treated area can be covered by a mist of the skin protective formulation that does not need to be treated for application or small drops that do not require an extensive rub time. |
