A topical application composition with light-screening properties in a special application form is disclosed. The problem with known light-screening agents containing native melanine as active substance is an insufficient melanin transport to its site of activity. The invention solves this problem with a topical application composition characterized by a content of melanin dissolved or dispersed in one or several fluorocarbons available as asymmetrical lamellar phospholipid aggregates in an aqueous system, together with a phospholipid. The particle size of the aggregates lies in the 200 to 3000 nm range.
