Cosmetic light protection agent

A method of protecting skin against electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength range of from 250 nm to 1400 nm comprising:

• applying a cosmetic light-protective agent to skin, said light-protective agent comprising:
• (a) at least methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol as UVA filter;
• (b) at least one filter substance for UVB radiation;
• (c) sea buckthorn oil with a refractive index of from 1.4 to 1.59 and a solid with a particle size d50 of from 3 to 50 μm, selected among citrine, topaz, amethyst, ruby, glass with a refractive index of from 1.500 to 1.599 at 587.6 nm or mixtures thereof;
• (d) at least one infrared-absorbing glass with a particle size d50 of from 5 to 50 μm;
• (e) a free-radical scavenging substance or mixture of substances;
• the total share of light-protective substances (a) through (d) ranging from 9 to 32 wt. %, and the balance to make 100%, apart from ingredient (e), being cosmetic adjuvants and/or excipients and optionally further cosmetic active substances.
