Abstract: Improvedly water-resistant sunscreen/cosmetic compositions, well suited for the prolonged UV-photoprotection of human skin and hair, comprise a cosmetically acceptable oil-in-water emulsion containing (i) at least one hydrophilic compound that screens ultraviolet irradiation and which comprises at least one optionally neutralized acid functional group, for example at least one optionally neutralized sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid functional group, and (ii) at least one insoluble filler material that is both inert with respect to said at least one hydrophilic acid compound (i) and an adsorbent therefor.
