Abstract
Abstract A non-greasy, water-based skin preparation composition is disclosed for application to the skin prior to exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays of indoor tanning equipment. The composition consists essentially of a major amount of water, a water-soluble, high molecular weight resin, a neutralizing agent for the resin, and minor amounts of banana oil, aloe vera juice, and Vitamin E.
