  1. 1
    A composition of matter for waterproofing mammalian skin containing a pharmacologically acceptable carrier and, in weight percent, from about 1 to about 10 percent C₁₈-C₃₆ aliphatic wax and from 2 to about 20 percent anhydrous hydrophobic silicone, said wax and said silicone being dispersed in said carrier.
  2. 8
    A method of protecting and waterproofing mammalian skin from the harmful effects of solar radiation having a wave length of from 700-2600 nanometers comprising applying to such mammalian skin a preparation containing, in weight percent, from about 1 to about 10 percent C₁₈-C₃₆ aliphatic wax and from about 1 to about 20 percent anhydrous hydrophobic silicone, each being dispersed in a pharmacologically acceptable water-free carrier and admixed with an ultraviolet blocking agent.
  3. 10
    A method of treating an infant with an area of diaper rash comprising applying to said area of diaper rash a preparation containing, in weight percent, from about 1 to 10 percent C₁₈-C₃₆ aliphatic wax, from about 1 to about 20 percent anhydrous hydrophobic silicone, and a pharmacologically acceptable carrier, said wax and said silicone being dispersed in said carrier.
