A sunscreen composition comprising: an aqueous phase containing at least one water soluble ingredient which includes a stability boosting polyol at a concentration, by weight, of from 10% to 25%, based on the total weight of the composition; and an oil phase comprising: a first emulsifier that is an emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer, at a concentration, by weight, of from 0.1% to 20%, based on the total weight of the composition; dimethicone at a concentration, by weight, of from 1% to 25% based on the total weight of the composition; and a combined UV filter comprising a liquid organic liposoluble UV filter and a solid organic liposoluble UV filter, the combined UV filter being at a concentration from 10% to 25%, by weight, based on the total weight of the composition; wherein a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase is 1.0 to 12.0, wherein the sunscreen composition is stable and does not demonstrate crystallization or emulsion separation after 10 cycles of freeze/thaw from -20 °C to 25 °C, wherein the sunscreen composition has a sun protection factor (SPF) of greater than or equal to 15, and wherein the sunscreen composition provides a water releasing effect by converting from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear, wherein said water-releasing effect is determined by placing a water-in-oil emulsion sample of the composition on the back of a hand, then applying it thereon by circling with the middle finger and ring finger of the other hand, resulting after 20 cycles in the formation of a plurality of water droplets on the back of the hand in a form of distinct spherical droplets or as a continuous streak of droplets. an aqueous phase containing at least one water soluble ingredient which includes a stability boosting polyol at a concentration, by weight, of from 10% to 25%, based on the total weight of the composition; and an oil phase comprising: a first emulsifier that is an emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer, at a concentration, by weight, of from 0.1% to 20%, based on the total weight of the composition; dimethicone at a concentration, by weight, of from 1% to 25% based on the total weight of the composition; and a combined UV filter comprising a liquid organic liposoluble UV filter and a solid organic liposoluble UV filter, the combined UV filter being at a concentration from 10% to 25%, by weight, based on the total weight of the composition; wherein a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase is 1.0 to 12.0, wherein the sunscreen composition is stable and does not demonstrate crystallization or emulsion separation after 10 cycles of freeze/thaw from -20 °C to 25 °C, wherein the sunscreen composition has a sun protection factor (SPF) of greater than or equal to 15, and wherein the sunscreen composition provides a water releasing effect by converting from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear, wherein said water-releasing effect is determined by placing a water-in-oil emulsion sample of the composition on the back of a hand, then applying it thereon by circling with the middle finger and ring finger of the other hand, resulting after 20 cycles in the formation of a plurality of water droplets on the back of the hand in a form of distinct spherical droplets or as a continuous streak of droplets. <EOS>
