UV PROTECTING COMPOSITION AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

The present application relates to a UV protecting composition containing: (a) at least one organic UV sunscreen active; (b) at least one semi-crystalline polymer which is solid at ambient temperature and has a melting point of less than about 8O0C; (c) hollow latex particles; and (d) at least one additional ingredient chosen from: i) a UV light absorbing compound having an SPF of less than 2, and ii) an SPF booster capable of reflecting UV light, different from hollow latex particles, wherein the hollow latex particles are employed in an amount equal to, or greater than, the amount of the at least one organic UV sunscreen active present in the composition. The invention also relates processes for protecting cellular targets from UV rays and free radical- induced damage by topically applying a UV protecting composition onto a keratinous substance, such as skin, and processes for making such compositions.
