Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
In a manufactured consumer product for application to or consumption by the human body, said product comprising (a) a topically administrable or orally ingestible vehicle and one or more of the following: a flavorant, colorant, odorant, surfactant or antiseptic, and (b) a compound capable of stimulating the cold receptors of the nervous system in the surface tissues of the body when brought into contact therewith, the improvement which comprises using as the cold receptor stimulating compound an effective amount of a cold receptor stimulating urea of the formula: ##STR9## wherein R 1 is H, C 1 -C 7 alkyl or C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl; R 2 is C 3 -C 8 alkyl or C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl or alkylcycloalkylalkyl, with the proviso that when R 1 is H then R 2 is branched at an alpha carbon atom relative to the N atom, or at an alpha or beta carbon atom when R 1 is alkyl or cycloalkyl; and R 5 and R 6 are each H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 3 -C 6 alkylcycloalkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl, C 2 -C 8 hydroxyalkyl, C 2 -C 8 carboxyalkyl or C 3 -C 8 alkylcarboxyalkyl; R 1 , r 2 , r 5 and R 6 together providing a total of from 7-16 carbon atoms.
