Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention comprise a personal care product that detects for controlled substances, and methods of use thereof. The personal care product may comprise a balm configured within a container. The balm may comprise ingredients common to other balms in the art such but not limited to waxes, surfactants, and emollients. The balm may further comprise cobalt thiocyanate for detecting cocaine, a pH indicator for detecting gamma hydroxybutyrate, a molecularly imprinted polymer for detecting flunitrazepam, a reactive polymer for detecting fentanyl, a chromogenic agent for detecting for flunitrazepam, ketamine, and/or scopolamine, and a Marquis reagent for detecting for 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine and/or methamphetamine. Before or after ingesting a controlled substance, a user may apply the balm to their lips, which causes the balm to change color when reacting with the controlled substance on the user's lips. The user or a bystander may notice this color change.
