Description
Water Resistant Sunscreen and Insect Repellent Composition
This invention relates to a synergistic sunscreen and insect repellent water based composition, and in particular to an improved water resistant combination sunscreen and insect repellent composition. The composition is non-greasy and pleasantly scented with an approximate SPF factor of 10. Although the composition is highly water resistant, it is easily removed with soap and water.
Insect borne diseases are a major non-battle injury threat to the military. Seven of the top eleven diseases that reduce military effectiveness are transmitted by insects. It is imperative for peak military operational efficiency that an acceptable insect repellent be produced to reduce the disease threat and to provide personal protection from insect borne diseases. The insect repellent must also meet the unique requirements necessary for personal protection of the armed forces. When considering the broad spectrum of use, the repellent should be long lasting and acceptable to the user. Also, the military spends long periods of time outdoors and accordingly, an acceptable sunscreen and insect repellent combination for use by field military personnel is highly desirable, particularly if it is compatible with other military materials, such as clothing and weapons. In other words, the composition should not have a negative effect on uniforms or the use and operation of weapons.
A second major need exists for people who live and work and play in the outdoors. They have protected themselves from insects for years by using insect repellents. Likewise, people who live and play and work outdoors have used sunscreen products to protect the exposed skin from the harmful effects of UV. Those sunscreen products are measured on a scale of increasing protection from 1 to 50. The scale is called the Sun Protection Factor ("SPF"). The SPF value of a sunscreen allows the consumer to determine the degree of sunburn protection that he or she is willing to accept for a given period of time in the direct exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Products have become commercially available in the recent past that combine sunscreen lotions and insect repellent lotions in one package. These products, for
many reasons, are not completely satisfactory. Some of the reasons why they are not satisfactory are as set forth below.
First, many combination insect repellent and sunscreen compositions are easily removed with water. This is a particular problem in the summertime when the person sweats or swims. The effectiveness of the insect repellent and sunscreen composition is dramatically reduced due to sweat removing the composition from the skin.
Second, most insect repellent compositions are oily and offensive to the olfactory system of the wearer as well as to those people who are around the wearer.

U.S. Patent No. 2,356,801 , entitled "INSECT REPELLENT COMPOSITION", issued on Aug. 29, 1994 to B. V. Travis, et al. discloses an insect repellent composition in which four insect repellent compounds are combined to improve the effectiveness of the composition.
None of these previous efforts, however, provides the benefits provided by the present invention. Additionally, the prior art does not teach or suggest the present inventive combination of component elements, as disclosed and claimed herein. The present invention achieves its intended purposes, objectives and advantages over the prior art compositions through a new, useful and unobvious combination of component elements. The present invention is simple to use, it contains a minimum number of functioning ingredients, it has reasonable manufacturing, testing and packaging costs, and it uses only readily available materials.
In particular, the prior art does not teach a combination sunscreen and insect repellent composition that is a stable emulsion which, when on a wearer's skin, promotes waterproofing and maintains its SPF for protracted periods of time.
Although there have been many inventions related to sunscreen protection and insect repellent compositions, none of the prior art has provided an effective, low cost and reliable product which has achieved general use.
The present invention meets the requirements of long lasting efficacy under extreme environmental conditions, low initial cost, and water resistance. Further, the composition is non-greasy, easy to apply, and pleasing to the olfactory senses.
In brief, the invention is a sunscreen and insect repellent composition having an extremely long efficacy period when used in rainy conditions and prolonged periods of high humidity, as in tropical and sub-tropical rain forests, even after the wearer has been under water. The composition includes a sunscreen agent present in an amount effective to provide an SPF of between about 2 and about 50, and preferably in the range of between about 15 and about 30. An insect repellent agent constitutes between about 7% to about 33% by weight of the composition. The composition further includes a plurality of ingredients contributing to the composition's
synergistically long efficacy period. In particular, these ingredients are an emulsifying agent (for forming a stable emulsion) and a film forming agent (so that the composition forms a film when applied to a wearer's skin).
The composition forms a stable emulsion lotion that is easy to store. Proper application of the lotion requires little or no training or special precautions. When applied, a thin film is formed on the skin that is non-greasy to the touch and resists water and electrolites, yet it is readily removed by scrubbing with soap and water.
The resultant composition has an extremely long efficacy period even when subjected to extreme environmental conditions of high humidity, and even when the wearer goes under water.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the more pertinent and important features of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood so that the present contribution to the art can be more fully appreciated. Additional features of the invention, described hereinafter, form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and the specific embodiments disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other compositions for carrying out the same purposes as the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent compositions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
