Patent ID: 8778313

Claim:
A topically fluid composition useful for photoprotecting the skin and/or the hair against the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, comprising: (a) at least one photoprotective system capable of screening out UV radiation comprising: (i) one or more hydrophilic lipophilic or insoluble organic screening agents selected from the group consisting of anthranilates; cinnamates; dibenzoylmethanes; salicylates; benzylidenecamphors; triazines; benzophenones; β-diphenylacrylates; benzotriazoles; benzalmalonates; benzimidazoles; imidazolines; bis-benzazolyls; p-aminobenzoates; methylenebis(hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles); screening polymers and screening silicones; α-alkylstyrene-based dimers; 4,4-diarylbutadienes, and mixtures thereof; and/or (ii) one or more mineral (nano) pigments selected from the group consisting of coated metal oxides and uncoated metal oxides; (b) at least one ester-terminated poly(ester amide) (ETPEA) polymer which comprises bis-stearyl ethylenediamine/neopentyl glycol/stearyl hydrogenated dimer dilinoleate copolymer, formulated into (c) a topically applicable, cosmetically acceptable aqueous composition, said composition having a viscosity, measured using a Rheomat 180 viscometer at 25° C. at a spin speed of 200 rpm after spinning for 30 seconds, of less than or equal to 0.5 Pa·s, wherein said composition has an increased SPF relative to the composition without the at least one ester-terminated poly(ester amide) (ETPEA) polymer.
