The present invention relates to the use of methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, optionally in combination with tris-biphenyl triazine, to reduce fabric staining of a sunscreen or daily care composition, wherein the sunscreen or daily care composition comprises (i) at least one particulate UV-f liter; and/or (ii) at least one oil soluble UV-A filter, wherein the at least one oil soluble UV-A filter is present in an amount of at most 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the sunscreen or daily care composition; and/or (iii) at least one water soluble UV filter. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, optionally in combination with tris-biphenyl triazine, to facilitate the washability of such sunscreen or daily care compositions from textiles.

A detergent additive is described, which comprises at least one swellable layered silicate, an antimicrobial active substance and a surfactant and, optionally, an alkali salt. This detergent additive is distinguished in that it protects the antimicrobial active substance from oxidation by the bleaches which are usually present in detergents and in that said active substance is only released during the washing process.
