Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for providing full spectrum photo protection to skin, which includes protection from infrared (IR) radiation and/or visible light in addition to protection from UV radiation. The compositions typically include: (a) baicalin; (b) one or more antioxidants selected from the group consisting of VENUCEANE (Thermus thermophiles ferment), polydatin, hesperetin, mango leaf extract, vitamin C; (c) optionally, one or more solubilizers; and (d) a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The compositions are unique in that the combination of (a), (b), optional (c), and (d) alone, provide at least full spectrum protection from ultraviolet radiation (UV), visible light, and infrared radiation (IR). The composition can additionally, optionally, include one or more UV filters to further enhance protection from UV radiation.
