Abstract: The present invention provides an alcohol-based stable and translucent fragrance composition containing a large amount of perfume. The fragrance composition of the present invention is a composition in which the total amount of (a) silicone oil and (b) ?-olefin oligomer that is a hydrogenated trimer, tetramer, pentamer, and/or hexamer of ?-olefin having 4 to 12 carbon atoms is 2 to 12% by mass in the composition, and the mass ratio of (b)/(a) is 0.1 to 0.7; the amount of (c) polyether-modified silicone with respect to (b) ?-olefin oligomer is 2 to 10 times in mass; the amount of (d) perfume is 3 to 30% by mass in the composition; the amount of (e) lower alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms is 50% by mass or more in the composition; the amount of (f) water is 3.5 to 15% by mass in the composition; and the L value of the composition is 70 to 95 provided the L value is a percentage (%) of strength of a transmitted light compared with a strength of an incident light.

Abstract: Topically applicable cosmetic/dermatological sunscreen compositions well suited for the UV-photoprotection of human skin and/or hair against the damaging effects of UV-A and UV-B irradiation, particularly solar radiation, comprise (i) a UV-photoprotecting effective amount of at least one solubilized organolipophilic silicon compound, whether solid silane or organopolysiloxane, bearing a benzotriazole function substituent and (ii) an amount of at least one cinnamic acid sunscreen compound and/or at least one salicylic acid sunscreen compound effective to (substantially) dissolve said at least one organolipophilic silicon compound.

Abstract: Stable, water-resistant photoprotective water-in-oil cosmetic emulsions, well suited for the photoprotection of human skin and/or hair against the deleterious effects of UV irradiation, comprise an effective stabilizing/emulsifying amount of a pair of active emulsifying agents, said emulsifying agent pair comprising (i) at least one polyalkylpolyethersiloxane emulsifier substituted by polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene moieties grafted onto the backbone polymer thereof, and (ii) at least one water-in-oil emulsifying polyoxyalkylenated glycol fatty acid ester polymer.

Abstract: Topically applicable, stable, photoprotective cosmetic/dermatological compositions, well suited for improved photoprotection of human skin and/or hair against the damaging effects of UV irradiation, particularly solar radiation, comprise (a) an effective photoprotecting amount of at least one dibenzoylmethane compound and (b) an effective photostabilizing amount of at least one polysaccharide alkyl ether.

Abstract: Topically applicable, water resistant cosmetic/dermatological compositions well suited for enhanced photoprotection of human skin and or/hair against the damaging effects of UV-A and UV-B irradiation, particularly solar radiation, comprise (I) a continuous aqueous dispersing phase, (ii) a first discontinuous globular oily dispersed phase O.sub.1, (iii) a second discontinuous globular oily dispersed phase O.sub.2, (iv) at least one O/W emulsifying agent, (v) at least one W/O emulsifying agent, (vi) a photoprotecting effective amount of at least one lipophilic UV screening agent, (vii) a photoprotecting effective amount of at least one hydrophilic screening agent, said first and second oily phases O.sub.1 and O.sub.2 being mutually incompatible, and the globules constituting said oily phase O.sub.1 having an average size which is different from the globules constituting said oily phase O.sub.2.
