Abstract
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising a natural essence containing a phototoxic dose of furocoumarin, and 0.01 to 2% by weight of at least one benzylidenecamphor derivative filtering out UV-A radiation and chosen from among 3-p-oxybenzylidenebornan-2-ones, 3,3'-terephthalylidenedicamphors optionally sulfonated in the 10-position of the camphor, p-(3-methylidenecamphor)-cinnamic acid derivatives, 3,3'-terephthalylidenedicampho-10-sulfonamides or 3,3'-terephthalylidenedicampho-10,10'-disulfonamides. It is also possible to incorporate into the composition a UV-B filter chosen from among: benzylidenecamphor, p-methylbenzylidenecamphor, benzylidenecamphor derivatives containing a quaternary ammonium radical on the benzene nucleus in the para position relative to the bornylidene radical, benzylidenecamphor derivatives sulphonated on the methyl radical in the 10-position of the camphor or in the 3'-position of 4'-position on the benzene nucleus, p-methylbenzylidene-camphor derivatives substituted on the p-methyl group, or other 3-benzylidenecamphor derivatives filtering out UV-B radiation. The effect of the benzylidenecamphor derivative is to deactivate the furocoumarins excited by UV radiation and to reduce their phototoxicity.
