Abstract: The sunscreen or makeup may be applied to a person who is wet, or even underwater, yet it will provide the full efficacy which it would have had had it been applied to the person when their skin was dry. In addition, it will be effective from the time that it is first applied, so no waiting period is required, as was the case for the so-called “water resistant” and “waterproof” sunscreens of the prior art.

Abstract: An improved sunscreen protection and insect repellent combination composition having an SPF factor of about 2 to about 50 and further having an unexpected, unusually long efficacy period when used in rainy conditions or prolonged periods of high humidity, such as in a tropical or sub-tropical rain forests, or the like, and after the wearer has been underwater. The composition forms a stable emulsion lotion that is easy to store. No special precautions are required by the person who applies the lotion. The composition includes a sunscreen agent, an insect repellent, including p-menthane-3,8-diol, an emulsifying agent, and a film former, all in an aqueous solvent. The composition forms a thin film on the skin, but it is non-greasy to the touch. The lotion is easily removed by scrubbing with soap and water.

In addition, it will be effective from the time that it is first applied, so no waiting period is required, as was the case for the so-called “water resistant” and “waterproof” sunscreens of the prior art. A series of test procedures which illustrate the efficacy of the “wet-appliable” sunscreens of the present invention are disclosed.

The composition forms a stable emulsion lotion that is easy to store. No special precautions are required by the person who applies the lotion. The composition includes a sunscreen agent, an insect repellent, including 3-[N-Butyl-N-acetyl]-aminopropionic acid, ethyl ester ("IR3535.TM."), an emulsifying agent, and a film former, all in an aqueous solvent. The composition forms a thin film on the skin, but it is non-greasy to the touch. The lotion is easily removed by scrubbing with soap and water.
