<p>The present invention relates to compositions suitable for use as sunscreens which provide excellent stability, efficiency, and UV protection efficacy in a safe, economical and aesthetically appealing manner (on-skin transparency, low skin irritation). Methods of use for these compositions are also disclosed. The compositions comprise: a) a safe and effective amount of a UVA-absorbing dibenzoylmethane sunscreen active; b) a safe and effective amount of a stabilizing agent having formula (I) wherein R1 and R1' are independently in the para or meta position and are independently a hydrogen atom or a straight- or branched chain C1-C8 alkyl radical, R2 is a straight- or branched-chain C1-C12 alkyl radical; and R3 is a hydrogen atom or a -CN radical; c) a safe and effective amount of a UVB sunscreen selected from the group consisting of organic sunscreen actives, inorganic physical sunblocks, and mixtures thereof, wherein the inorganic physical sunblock is present in a total amount of less than or equal to about 5 %; and d) a carrier suitable for application to the skin wherein the mole ratio of the stabilizing agent to the UVA-absorbing dibenzoylmethane sunscreen active is less than 0.8 and wherein the composition is substantially free of benzylidene camphor derivatives.</p> |
