Abstract
Ultraviolet radiation-absorbing polymers having a first pendant group that comprises an ultraviolet radiation-absorbing moiety and a second pendant group that comprises at least one siloxane linkage and/or an intermediate length carbon chain are disclosed. Personal care compositions including the ultraviolet radiation-absorbing polymer are provided.
Claims11
A blend comprising:
- a first UV-absorbing polymer, said first UV-absorbing polymer comprising the polymerization reaction product of:
- a first ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising a first pendant group that comprises a UV-absorbing moiety, and a second pendant group selected from the group consisting of H, or C1 to C12 alkyl;
- and
- a second ethylenically unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of monomethacryloxypropyl polydimethylsiloxane and methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane,
- wherein the number of repeat units of said first reacted monomer per molecule is from about 1 to about 6000 and the number of repeating units of said second reacted monomer per molecule is from about 2 to about 6300, said UV-absorbing polymer having a weight average molecular weight of at least 2000 and comprising at least 5 mole % of said first pendant group;
- and
- a second UV-absorbing polymer that comprises a UV-B absorbing moiety;
- wherein said blend is capable of providing both synergistic SPF and synergistic PFA protection over a mass percent range of the first and second UV-absorbing polymers of at least 40%.
