Abstract: A method of photoprotecting a keratinous substrate comprising applying a composition onto the keratinous substrate, the composition comprising at least one phenolic compound chosen from at least one ortho-diphenol, at least one phenolic compound having a carboxylic acid moiety, and mixtures thereof; a compound chosen from at least one polyamine, at least one water soluble metal salt, and mixtures thereof; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The present disclosure also relates to photoprotective compositions for application onto hair and skin, the compositions comprising at least one phenolic compound chosen from at least one ortho-diphenol, at least one phenolic compound having a carboxylic acid moiety, and mixtures thereof; a compound chosen from at least one polyamine, at least one water soluble metal salt, and mixtures thereof; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to an aqueous composition containing: (a) at least one fatty monoamine; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one compound chosen from an alkyl ether carboxylic acid, an alkyl ether carboxylate, a fatty acid having from about 6 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition is homogeneous and clear to substantially clear in appearance.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a aqueous composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound having at least three amino groups; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one phosphate ester chosen from alkoxylated alkyl phosphate esters and alkyl phosphate esters; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition is both homogeneous, and clear to substantially clear in appearance.
