Claim:
A stabilized composition comprising (a) lipstick, rouge, eyeshadow or mascara, (b) from about 5 to about 10000 ppm based on the total formulation of a least one compound of formulae A* wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, in formula A*, n is 1 or 2, when n is 1, R 1 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, alkenyl of 2-18 carbon atoms, propargyl, glycidyl, alkyl of 2 to 50 carbon atoms interrupted by one to twenty oxygen atoms, said alkyl substituted by one to ten hydroxyl groups or both interrupted by said oxygen atoms and substituted by said hydroxyl groups, or R 1 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms substituted by a carboxy group or by —COOZ where Z is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl, or where Z is said alkyl substituted by —(COO − ) n M n+ where n is 1-3 and M is a metal ion from the 1st, 2nd or 3rd group of the periodic table or is Zn, Cu, Ni or Co, or M is a group N n+ (R 2 ) 4 where R 2 is alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or benzyl, when n is 2, R 1 is alkylene of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, alkenylene of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, xylylene or alkylene of 1 to 50 carbon atoms interrupted by one to twenty oxygen atoms, substituted by one to ten hydroxyl groups or both interrupted by said oxygen atoms and substituted by said hydroxyl groups, X is an inorganic or organic anion, selected from the group consisting of phosphate, phosphonate, carbonate, bicarbonate, nitrate, chloride, bromide, bisulfite, sulfite, bisulfate, sulfate, borate, formate, acetate, benzoate, citrate, oxalate, tartrate, acrylate, polyacrylate, fumarate, maleate, itaconate, glycolate, gluconate, malate, mandelate, tiglate, ascorbate, polymethacrylate, a carboxylate of nitrilotriacetic acid, hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, a diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonate, an alkylsulfonate or an arylsulfonate, and where the total charge of cations h is equal to the total charge of anions j; and (c) an organic UV filter selected from (c 1 ) dibenzoylmethane derives.
