A colored, sunless tanning emulsion is disclosed which employs a water-soluble dye or a blend of water-soluble dyes whose color substantially disappears when the sunless tanning emulsion dries after it is spread on the skin and/or is rubbed out. The coloration in the sunless tanning emulsion enables the user to apply the emulsion more evenly to the skin, giving a smooth, uniform tan over the skin surface. The colored, sunless tanning emulsion comprises: a) at least one water-soluble dye that imparts a color other than white to the sunless tanning emulsion, such that when the emulsion dries after it is spread on the skin and/or is rubbed out, the color substantially disappears; b) at least one sunless tanner; c) at least one emulsifier; and d) sufficient water to form the colored emulsion; and optionally, e) one or more emollients, humectants, dry-feel modifiers, antimicrobial preservatives, thickening agents, antifoaming agents, antioxidants, chelating agents, sunscreen actives and fragrances as well as any other class of materials whose presence may be cosmetically, efficaciously or otherwise desirable. |
