Claim:
1. A composition, comprising: a continuous water phase, a discontinuous oil phase homogeneously distributed in said water phase, said oil phase comprising a sunscreen agent comprising about 15% or more by weight of a UV-absorbing polyester, which UV-absorbing polyester is the polymerization reaction product of four monomers comprising (1) dimerdiol (“DDO”), C about 0.3 to about 3% by weight of an alkylated polyvinylpyrrolidone; and an oil-in-water emulsifier selected from the group consisting of an anionic emulsifier and a non-ionic emulsifier, wherein, if said oil-in-water emulsifier comprises said anionic emulsifier, said anionic emulsifier is present at from about 0.5% to about 6% by weight, and wherein if said oil-in-water emulsifier comprises said non-ionic emulsifier, said non-ionic emulsifier is present at from about 1% to about 10% by weight and is free of an oil-gelling polymer; and wherein said composition comprises less than 1% by weight of a non-polymeric UV-absorbing sunscreen agent, has an SPF of less than 2 in the absence of said UV-absorbing polyester, an SPF of about 20 or greater and a Water Resistance Value of greater than 65%.
