SUNSCREEN EMULSION COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

There is provided a sunscreen emulsion composition. The composition has a n inner discontinuous phase and an outer continuous phase. The inner discontinuous phase and/or outer continuous phase has a sunscreen active therein. The inne r discontinuous phase is generally dispersed in the outer continuous phase and is in the form of discrete droplets having a multimodal droplet size distribution. There is also provided a method of protecting skin from overexposure to the sun in which the above composition is applied topically to the skin. There is also provided a method of enhancing the performance of a sunscreen emulsion by forming the inner discontinuous phase as a multiplicity of droplets having a multimodal drople t size distribution. There is also provided a method of preparing an emulsifier-fre e sunscreen composition.
