Abstract
A sustained release lotion for deterring animals from licking made by combining an aqueous phase having at least one bittering agent and at least one humectant, herein the at least one bittering agent is present in the aqueous phase in the range of about 0.001 to 25.0 wt. %; wherein the humectant is present in the aqueous phase in the range of from about 1 to 99 wt. %; and an oil phase comprising at least one oil and at least one surfactant, wherein the surfactant is present in the oil phase in the range of from about 1 to 100 wt. %, and wherein the aqueous phase is added to the oil phase in a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 49:1 using low to medium shear mixing and wherein the lotion is hydrophobic and has sustained release properties.

A sustained release composition to deter animal wound licking comprising a lotion made by the process of combining:
- A) an aqueous phase comprising an aqueous solution or suspension containing at least one bittering agent and at least one humectant, wherein the at least one bittering agent is present in the aqueous phase in the range of about 0.001 to 25.0 wt. %;
- and wherein the at least one humectant is present in the aqueous phase in the range of from about 0.1 to 99 wt. %, and
- B) an oil phase comprising at least one surfactant, and optionally at least one oil, wherein the at least one surfactant is present in the oil phase in the range of from about 1 to 100 wt. %;
- wherein the aqueous phase is added to the oil phase in a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 49:1, and the aqueous phase is added to oil phase using low to medium shear mixing to provide the lotion, wherein the lotion is hydrophobic and has sustained release properties;
- wherein the humectant is a combination of glycerine and sorbitol.
A sustained release composition to deter animal wound licking comprising a lotion comprising:
- from about 50 to 99 wt. % humectant;
- from about 1 to 50 wt. % water;
- from about 0.001 to 5.00 wt. % bittering agent;
- from about 0 to 25 wt. % oil;
- from about 25 to 1 wt. % surfactant;
- wherein the lotion is hydrophobic and has sustained release properties;
- wherein the humectant is a combination of glycerine and sorbitol.
