Abstract
A substantially anhydrous, thickened, spreadable, warming lubricant composition comprising a mixture of glycerin, polyhydric alcohol, a non-ionic surfactant, and a Carbomer thickener, the surfactant improving wetting and spreadability of the composition on skin and latex, and the thickener providing a creamy rich feel to the composition, such that the composition can be applied to skin or a condom and provide an optimal warming effect upon contact with ambient moisture during use and such that the composition can be added to a condom package and, over the course of a week, spread and coat nearly the entire internal and external surfaces of the condom.
