One aspect of the invention relates to a sunscreen composition comprising at least one sunscreen agent, at least one solvent, at least one thickening agent, and at least one film forming polymer, wherein said thickening agent is present in an amount in the range of 0.01-0.50 %(w/w), and wherein said film forming polymer is present in an amount of less than 2.0 %(w/w). Another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of a thickening agent for increasing the sun protection factor of a sunscreen composition comprising at least one sunscreen agent, at least one film forming polymer, and at least one solvent. Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a sunscreen composition comprising the steps of i) providing at least one solvent, at least one thickening agent in an amount in the range of 0.01-0.50 %(w/w), at least one film forming polymer in an amount of less than 2.0 %(w/w), and at least one sunscreen agent, ii) admixing the components of step i) to provide a sunscreen composition. |
