Abstract: Use of a semi-crystalline polymer in a composition containing at least one organic UV screening agent. The polymer makes it possible to increase the sun protection factor (SPF). In addition, the semi-crystalline polymer makes it possible to introduce better dispersion of screening agents and confers, on the composition, good resistance to water (waterproof effect) and better spreading qualities. Composition for the photoprotection of keratinous substances, in particular for the protection of the skin and/or hair against solar radiation.
