Abstract: Described are sprayable sunscreen compositions having one or more oil-in-water dispersions of (i) particles of one or more hydrophobic ultraviolet B ray (UVB) filters or ultraviolet A ray (UVA) filters or ultraviolet (UV) absorbing boosters or other non-UV absorbing hydrophobic agent(s), (ii) one or more polymer or copolymer fragments, or combinations thereof, and (iii) an aqueous-solute fluid. The particles of one or more hydrophobic UVB filters or UVA filters or UV absorbing boosters or other non-UV absorbing hydrophobic agent(s) are present in an amount from about 0.01% wt. to about 70% wt., the one or more polymer or copolymer fragments, or combinations thereof are present in an amount from about 0.01% wt. to about 10% wt., and the aqueous-solute fluid is present in an amount from about 1.0% wt. to about 98.5% wt., all based on the total weight of the composition.
