Abstract:
1. A composition comprising: a continuous water phase; a discontinuous oil phase comprising a UV-absorbing polyester that is formed by a polycondensation reaction of dimerdiol (monomer 1), di-trimethylolpropane (monomer 2), dimethyladipate (monomer 3) and benzenepropanoic acid (monomer 4), in an amount effective to provide said composition with an SPF of about 2 or more in the absence of a UV-screening compound, wherein the mole ratio of the four monomers (monomer 1: monomer 2: monomer 3: monomer 4) is selected from the group consisting of 2.4:3.1:4.0:8.0 and 3.4:2.1:4.0:6.0; wherein said discontinuous oil phase is stable in said continuous water phase; and an oil gelling polymer, wherein said composition is substantially free of a non-polymeric UV-absorber.
