It is well known that ultraviolet radiation (light) is harmful to human skin. Depending on the wavelength the UV radiation causes different types of skin damage. UV-B radiation (about 290 to about 320 nm) is responsible for sunburn and can cause skin cancer. UV-A radiation (about 320 to about 400 nm) while producing tanning of the skin, contributes also to sunburn and the induction of skin cancers. Moreover, the harmful effects of the UV-B radiation may be aggravated by UV-A radiation.
Therefore, an effective sunscreen formulation preferably comprises both at least one UV-A and UV-B filter covering the full range of about 290 nm to about 400 nm to prevent the human skin from the harmful effects of sunlight.
The effects of UV-A are mainly mediated by free radicals, e.g. reactive oxygen species inducing different types of degradation to cellular DNA, lipids, and proteins. The visible indications are often the result of long-term, cumulative effects. This is why skin photoaging is associated with UV-A light. It is also known that normal outdoor UV-A radiation can be effective enough to cause the breakdown of the proteins collagen and elastin leading to a loss of firmness and resilience of the skin. Therefore the UVA protection of a daily skin care is of significant relevance.
Numerous UV-B filters are registered for their use in sunscreen preparations, which are mainly derivatives of the 3-benzylidenecamphor, ethylhexyl salicylates and cinnamic acid esters, such as 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate.
A new class of organic UV filters are micronized triazine derivatives which are commonly used in admixture with cinnamic acid derivatives and/or dibenzoyl methane derivatives.
Unfortunately, this UV filter combination employed in sunscreen compositions suffers from relatively rapid photodegradation with the consequence that the protection from sun damage is lost.
One challenge of this invention is therefore to enhance the stability of these specific UV filter combinations.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the use of diphenylacrylates and specific triazine derivatives will enhance the stability of cosmetic and dermatological formulations comprising the combination of specific micronized triazine derivatives and UV absorbers selected from cinnamic acid derivatives and dibenzoyl methane derivatives.
Therefore, the present invention relates to the use of UV absorbers selected from

Typical examples of bacteria-inhibiting agents are preservatives that have a specific action against gram-positive bacteria, such as 2,4,4′-trichloro-2′-hydroxydiphenyl ether, chlorhexidine (1,6-di(4-chlorophenyl-biguanido)hexane) or TCC (3,4,4′-trichlorocarbanilide). A large number of aromatic substances and ethereal oils also have antimicrobial properties. Typical examples are the active ingredients eugenol, menthol and thymol in clove oil, mint oil and thyme oil. A natural deodorising agent of interest is the terpene alcohol farnesol (3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatrien-1-ol), which is present in lime blossom oil.

Suitable insect repellents are, for example, N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, 1,2-pentanediol or insect repellent 3535; suitable self-tanning agents are, for example, dihydroxyacetone and/or erythrulose or dihydroxy acetone and/or dihydroxy acetone precursors as described in WO 01/85124 and/or erythrulose.
Polymeric Beads or Hollow Spheres as SPF Enhancers
The combination of the UV-absorbers and UV-absorber combinations, listed above, with SPF enhancers, such as non-active ingredients like Styrene/acrylates copolymer, silica beads, spheroidal magnesium silicate, crosslinked Polymethylmethacrylates (PMMA; Micopearl M305 Seppic), can maximize better the UV protection of the sun products. Holosphere additives (Sunspheres® ISP, Silica Shells Kobo.) deflect radiation and the effective path length of the photon is therefore increased.(EP0893119). Some beads, as mentioned previously, provide a soft feel during spreading. Moreover, the optical activity of such beads, e.g. Micropearl M305, cans modulate skin shine by eliminating reflection phenomena and indirectly may scatter the UV light.

EXAMPLE 1 Formulations F1-F3
For the determination of photodegradation the so-called “plate-test” is employed: 2 μl/cm2 of the formulations are spread on quartz plates (sand-blasted surface of 2.8 cm2), and rinsed off the plates after 0, 5, and 10 MED of UV irradiation using an Atlas CPS+ solar simulator.
Tested formulation comprising components (a), (b) and (C):
Results
The results are listed in Table 3.
The substances tagged with an asterix (*) are those the recovery percentages refer to.
The experimental error in terms of the standard deviation is in the range of ±3%.
1,3,5-Triazine,2,4,6-tris([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl) (TBT) (component (b)) itself shows no degradation within the range of experimental error under all conditions. The same is observed with Octocrylene (OCR).
The results further show that in the combination of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (OCR) and 1,3,5-Triazine,2,4,6-tris([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl) (TBT), the Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate can be stabilized by addition of Octocrylene.
EXAMPLE 3The so-called “plate-test” is employed: 2 μl/cm2 of the formulations are spread on quartz plates (sand-blasted surface of 2.8 cm2), and rinsed off the plates after 0, 5, and 10 MED of UV irradiation using an Atlas CPS+ solar simulator.
Formulations of BMDBM (Butyl Methoxy Dibenzoylmethane) alone, BMDBM in combination with OCR (Octocrylene), and formulations of BMDBM with Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (TBT) in combination with either BEMT (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine), or Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol (BDC,) are investigated.
The concentration of 1 Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (TBT) is kept to 4%, corresponding to 2% of active.
Results
The results are listed in Table 4.
The percentages refer to the recovery of BMDBM.
The experimental error in terms of the confidence interval at 95% level of significance is in the range of ±2% in relation to the original amount of BMDBM (with each condition four plates were investigated).
The active of Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (TBT) itself shows no degradation within the range of experimental error under all conditions.
The same is observed with BEMT, BDC and OCR.
The data show that the presence of TBT leads to accelerated photodegradation of BMDBM. This effect can be almost completely reversed by addition of Octocrylene and also by BEMT or BDC, when realistic concentrations are employed.
