SUNSCREEN COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A composition and method for enhancing the SPF value of UV absorbing agents which are formulated into sunscreen composition and applied to the skin is disclosed. A mixture is formed which includes at least one UV absorbing agent and an effective amount of a dimethicone copolyol wax composition. The composition exhibits a synergistic effect over compositions that contain the UV absorbing agent absent the dimethicone copolyol wax. The mixture is applied to the skin to be protected from excessive exposure to UV radiation.
