Self-tanning product having slimming, firming and toning properties associated therewith

A method for producing a self-tanning composition having slimming, firming and toning properties, the method comprising the steps of:

• admixing water and safe and effective minor amounts of at least one humectant, at least one slimming and toning agent, at least one emulsion stabilizer and at least one chelating agent at a temperature of from about 65° C. to about 80° C. for a period of time effective to form a substantially uniform phase A aqueous mixture;
• mixing effective amounts of at least one emollient, and at least one emulsifier at a temperature of from about 65° C. to about 80° C. for a period of time to provide a substantially uniform phase B mixture;
• admixing the phase A aqueous mixture with the phase B mixture at a temperature of from about 65° C. to about 80° C. for a period of time effective to provide a substantially uniform mixture;
• permitting the resulting mixture formed by admixing phases A and B to cool to a temperature of from about 35° C. to about 55° C.;
• admixing effective amounts of a solvent, and at least one emulsifier to form a substantially uniform phase C mixture;
• admixing the phase C mixture with the resulting mixture containing phases A and B at a temperature of from about 65° C. to about 80° C. from a period of time to form a substantially uniform mixture of phases A, B, and C;
• cooling the substantially uniform mixture of phases A, B and C to a temperature of from about 35° C. to about 55° C.;
• admixing at least one buffering agent constituting phase D with the substantially uniform mixture of phases A, B and C at a temperature of from about 35° C. to about 55° C. to form a substantially uniform mixture of phases A, B, C and D;
• admixing effective amounts of a solvent, and a self-tanning agent to form a substantially uniform phase E mixture;
• admixing the phase E mixture with the mixture containing phases A, B, C and D at a temperature of from about 35° C. to about 55° C. for a period of time to form a substantially uniform mixture containing the constituents of phases A, B, C and D;
• permitting the mixture containing the mixture of phases A, B, C, D and E to cool to room temperature;
• admixing at least one viscosity control agent, at least one hydrocarbon solvent, at least one emulsifying agent, at least one emollient, at least one buffering agent, at least one self-tanning agent, at least one humectant, at least one lipolytic enzyme activator, at least one lipogenesis inhibitor, at least one surfactant, at least one antioxidant, at least one catabolism enhancer, at least one cytosine production stimulator, at least one film former, at least one masking agent and at least one preservative at room temperature to provide a substantially uniform phase F mixture;
• and
• admixing the phase F mixture with the phase A, B, C, D and E mixtures at room temperature to provide a self-tanning composition containing slimming, firming and toning properties.
