Claim:
1. A sunscreen composition comprising: an aqueous phase containing at least one stability boosting polyol at a concentration, by weight, of from about 10% to about 35%, based upon weight of the composition; and an oil phase comprising: wherein a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase is about 1.0 to about 10.0, the sunscreen composition is stable and does not demonstrate crystallization or emulsion separation after 10 cycles of freeze/thaw from −25° C. to 25° C., has a sun protection factor (SPF) of greater than or equal to 15 and exhibits a critical wavelength of greater than 370 nm, and converts from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear when applied to a keratinous substrate; wherein a water-releasing effect is achieved by placing the sunscreen composition on the keratinous substrate, then gently and repeatedly rubbing with fingers in a circling motion resulting in the formation of a plurality of distinct spherical water droplets or a continuous streak of water droplets.
