The invention relates to a mixture, comprising (A) 10 to 90 wt. % of at least one Cto Calkyl ester, or Cto Ccycloalkyl ester of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylic acid and (B) 90 to 10 wt. % of at least one further compound, with at least one UV absorption maximum in the range 280 to 450 nm and structurally different from compound (A). Said mixture is suitable for the protection of human skin from damaging UV radiation and for the protection of coloured textile materials from colour fading.

UV absorbing mixture with textile fiber affinity

The invention relates to the use of compounds (A) with at least one structural unit of formula (I), wherein X represents groups of formula &#x2014;CR&#x2550;CR&#x2014; or a carbonyl group C&#x2550;O, Rand Rmeaning hydrogen or essentially organic radicals, Z means essentially organic radicals, n means a number from 0 to 3 and p means a number from 0 to 5, as UV absorbers with an affinity for textile fibres, for protecting the human skin from harmful UV radiation and for protecting dyed textile materials from fading.

Use of cyclic enamines as light protection agents

Cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations containing photostable UV filters

The present invention describes the use of finely divided dye-containing polymers PD in the form of an aqueous polymer dispersion or a polymer powder obtainable therefrom, the polymer matrix of which comprises at least one organic dye D in homogeneously dispersed form, as color-imparting constituent in cosmetic compositions. The present invention also describes cosmetic compositions which comprise a color-containing polymer in an amount of from 0.1 to 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition, and additives customary for cosmetic compositions.
