The present invention relates to specific topical compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT), butyloctyl salicylate and at least one inorganic UV-filter selected from titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Said compositions exhibit an appealing skin feel and look.
Claims20
A topical composition comprising, based on total weight of the composition:
- (i) 0.4 to 10 wt.-% of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine,
- (ii) 0.5 to 25 wt.-% of at least one inorganic UV-filter selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, and
- (iii) an amount of 0.5 to 10 wt.-% of butyloctyl salicylate effective to reduce the whitening effect of the topical composition due to the presence of the at least one UV-filter as determined by a lower L value as compared to a topical composition comprising the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and the at least one UV-filter but not comprising the butyloctyl salicylate, wherein
- the topical composition has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 18.2 with the proviso that the composition does not comprise isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and ethylhexyl 2-cyano-octocrylene.
A method of reducing the whitening effect caused by an inorganic UV-filter selected from titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide when applied to a surface in a topical composition comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and the inorganic UV-filter, wherein the method comprises the step of adding to the topical composition an effective amount of 0.5 to 10 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the topical composition, of butyloctyl salicylate sufficient to reduce the whitening effect of the topical composition due to the presence of the at least one UV-filter as determined by a lower L value as compared to an identical topical composition not comprising the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and the at least one UV-filter but not comprising the butyloctyl salicylate.
