Abstract: A cooling composition for application to the skin of a mammal, such as a human. The base of the composition is an interpenetrating polymer network, which may contain a thermo-responsive polymer. Having a Critical Temperature above an average core body temperature, the material may undergo a phase change as the creature becomes too warm, such as when a person experiences a hot flash, a fever, exposure to very warm environments, physical exertion, and the like. The phase change results in a cooling and/or cooling sensation of the skin. Additives may be included in the cooling composition such as evaporative cooling components, neurosensory cooling components, and additional phase change components.

Abstract: A diaper rash composition and a method for treating diaper rash are disclosed. In one embodiment, the diaper rash composition contains a volatile silicone, a silicone elastomer, and a diaper rash agent. Of particular advantage, the diaper rash composition can be formulated so as to only contain the above three ingredients. Thus, the composition can be formulated as a semi-solid that contains no emulsifers and is substantially non-aqueous. In alternative embodiments, the composition can also contain a carrier, a non-silicone elastomer, and various other miscellaneous ingredients.

Abstract: A cleansing composition is described. The cleansing composition generally contains an antimicrobial agent, a heating agent, and a thermochromic agent. During use, the heating agent heats the composition so that the antimicrobial agent becomes more effective. The thermochromic agent, on the other hand, changes the color of the composition as it is heated in order to indicate to a user that the composition is at a desired temperature. In an alternative embodiment, instead of containing a heating agent, a heating source can be used to heat the composition. The heating source can be, for instance, an electrical resistance heater.
