Description

Composition comprising a UV-screening agent, a suitably selected lipophilic polymer and a carrageenan

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, and in particular a cosmetic or dermatological composition, comprising at least one UV-screening agent, at least one suitably selected lipophilic polymer and at least one carrageenan, and to the use of said composition in the cosmetic and dermatological fields, in particular for caring for and treating keratin materials, and notably for caring for, protecting and / or making up the skin of the body or the face, or for haircare.

[0002] A wide variety of photoprotective compositions are already known to date for protecting keratin materials, and more particularly the skin, against the harmful effects induced by UVA and / or UVB radiation. They mostly contain a combination of several organic or inorganic UV-screening agents, conveyed in an oily phase and / or in an aqueous phase as anti-UV active agent and are generally proposed in a presentation form of emulsion or gel type.

[0003] It is known that radiation with wavelengths of between 280 nm and 400 nm permits tanning of the human epidermis and that radiation with wavelengths of between 280 and 320 nm, known as UV-B rays, harms the development of a natural tan. Such exposure is also liable to induce impairment in the biomechanical properties of the epidermis, which is reflected by the appearance of wrinkles, leading to premature ageing of the skin.

[0004] It is also known that UV-A rays with wavelengths of between 320 and 400 nm penetrate more deeply into the skin than UV-B rays. UV-A rays cause immediate and persistent browning of the skin. Daily exposure to UVA rays, even for a short period, under normal conditions can lead to degradation of the collagen and elastin fibres, which is reflected by a change in the skin’s microrelief, the appearance of wrinkles and non-uniform pigmentation (liver spots, or heterogeneity of the complexion).

[0005] Protection against UVA and UVB radiation is therefore necessary. An effective photoprotective product must protect against both UVA and UVB radiation.

[0006] Many photoprotective compositions have been proposed to date to overcome the effects induced by UVA and / or UVB radiation. They generally contain organic UV screening agents and / or inorganic UV screening agents, which function according to their intrinsic chemical nature and according to their intrinsic properties by absorption, reflection or scattering of the UV radiation. They generally contain mixtures of liposoluble organic screening agents and / or of water-soluble UV-screening agents combined with metal oxide pigments such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.

[0007] Many cosmetic compositions intended to limit darkening of the skin, and to improve the colour and uniformity of the complexion have been proposed to date. It is well known in the field of antisun products that such compositions can be obtained by using UV-screening agents, and in particular UVB-screening agents. Some compositions may also contain UVA-screening agents. This screening system must cover UVB protection for the purpose of limiting and controlling the neosynthesis of melanin promoting overall pigmentation, but must also cover UVA protection in order to limit and control the oxidation of the already existing melanin resulting in darkening of the skin.

[0008] The conditions under which an antisun composition is used are extremely varied and depend on the activities practised by the consumer. Use on the beach is very common, leading to applications on both dry and wet skin, notably after swimming.

[0009] However, on wet skin, the active substances, such as the UV-screening agents, tend to become diluted, impairing their skin protection properties.

[0010] Among the different textures of existing antisun compositions, the majority are difficult to apply to wet skin. Specifically, spreading the composition on wet skin may result in a significant whitening effect, which is not very pleasant for the consumer, and inhomogeneity of the protective film, which affects the level of skin protection. The production of a homogeneous, transparent appearance then requires the composition to be massaged into the skin for a very long time.

[0011] Thus, there is a real need to provide an antisun composition that does not have the drawbacks mentioned above, i.e. an antisun composition that is stable, compatible with application to both dry and wet skin, and with a high level ofin vivosun protection efficacy (SPF), whether the product is applied to dry or wet skin.

[0012] The Applicant has discovered, surprisingly, that a composition comprising one or more UV-screening agents, one or more suitably selected lipophilic polymers, and one or more polysaccharides chosen from carrageenans, allows the abovementioned objectives to be achieved; notably to obtain a screening composition which has excellent compatibility with wet skin, which allows it to be applied to both dry and wet skin, and which leads to a high SPF on both dry and wet skin.Disclosure of the invention

[0013] One subject of the present invention is thus a composition, and in particular a cosmetic or dermatological composition, comprising:

[0014] a) at least one UV-screening agent;

[0015] b) at least one lipophilic polymer comprising monomer units of formulae (A) and (B):

[0016] in which:

[0017] R1, independently of each other, are chosen from alkyl or alkenyl radicals;

[0018] with at least 60% by weight of the groups R1 being radicals chosen from stearyl and behenyl radicals, the weight percentage being relative to the sum of all the groups R1 present in the polymer;

[0019] the weight ratio of the sum of all the hydroxyethyl acrylate units to the sum of all the acrylate units bearing the group R1 ranges from 1:30 to 1:1; and

[0020] the sum of the total of units A and B is at least 95% by weight relative to the total weight of the polymer; and

[0021] c) at least one carrageenan.

[0022] Unlike conventional antisun compositions, the composition of the invention allows satisfactory application to wet skin combined with a high level of sun protection.

[0023] Specifically, the composition of the invention has good working properties. It spreads easily on both wet and dry skin and allows uniform application without the appearance of a whitish film on the skin.

[0024] The composition also makes it possible to screen out UV rays to a high SPF, consequently resulting in better skin protection, whether the composition is applied to dry or wet skin.

[0025] The composition of the invention is also stable over time.

[0026] Moreover, the composition of the invention has good cosmetic properties, notably in terms of the tacky feel. Specifically, it is pleasant and sparingly tacky.

[0027] The present invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for caring for and / or making up a keratin material, comprising the application, to the surface of said keratin material, of at least one composition according to the invention as defined previously.

[0028] A subject of the present invention is notably a process for the non-therapeutic cosmetic treatment of the skin, in particular human skin, notably dry skin and / or wet skin, against UV radiation, which consists in applying to said skin the composition according to the invention as defined previously.

[0029] The invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for limiting the darkening of the skin and / or improving the colour and / or uniformity of the complexion, comprising the application, to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one composition according to the invention as defined previously.

[0030] The invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for preventing and / or treating the signs of ageing of a keratin material, comprising the application, to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one composition according to the invention as defined previously.

[0031] Other subjects, features, aspects and advantages of the invention will emerge even more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.

[0032] According to the present invention, the term “stable over time” refers to a composition which, after one month, preferably after two months, of storage at a temperature ranging from 4°C to 45°C, does not show any macroscopic change in colour, odour or viscosity, or any variation in pH, and also no variation in microscopic appearance.

[0033] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “good compatibility on wet skin” means that when the composition is applied at a rate of 2 mg.cm-2to the skin or a skin substitute substrate that has been previously wetted, a homogeneous film that is transparent to the naked eye is obtained.

[0034] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “SPF” means the sun protection factor, which measures the level of protection against UVB rays. The SPF value corresponds to the ratio between the minimum time it takes to obtain a sunburn with an antisun composition to the time it takes without a product. More specifically, the “SPF” is defined in the articleA new substrate to measure sunscreen protection factors throughout the ultraviolet spectrum, J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 40, 127-133 (May / June 1989).

[0035] The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) may be evaluatedin vitrousing the Labsphere® spectrophotometer. The sheet is the material onto which the antisun composition is applied. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) sheets have proven to be ideal for this protocol.

[0036] Evaluation of the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of the compositions may also be performedin vivoaccording to the protocol ISO / EN 24444 “Cosmetics - Sun protection test methods -in-vivodetermination of the sun protection factor (SPF) (2019)”.

[0037] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “PPD” (Persistent Pigment Darkening) means the index characterizing protection against UVA rays. In particular, the PPD measures the colour of the skin observed 2 to 4 hours after exposure to UVA rays. This method has been adopted since 1996 by the Japanese Cosmetic Industry Association (JCIA) as the official test procedure for the UVA labelling of products and is frequently used by test laboratories in Europe and the United States (Japan Cosmetic Industry Association Technical Bulletin. Measurement Standards for UVA protection efficacy. Issued November 21, 1995 and effective as of January 1, 1996).

[0038] Other characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will emerge on reading the detailed description that follows.

[0039] The composition according to the invention is intended for topical application and thus contains a physiologically acceptable medium. The term “physiologically acceptable medium” means here a medium that is compatible with keratin materials.

[0040] In the context of the present invention, the term “keratin material” notably means the skin, the scalp, keratin fibres such as the eyelashes, the eyebrows, head hair, bodily hair, the nails, and mucous membranes such as the lips, and more particularly the skin and mucous membranes (of the body, face, area around the eyes, eyelids or lips, preferably of the body, face and lips).

[0041] In the text hereinbelow, unless otherwise indicated, the limits of a range of values are included in that range, notably in the expressions “between” and “ranging from ... to ...”.

[0042] Moreover, the expressions “at least one” and “at least” used in the present description are equivalent to the expressions “one or more” and “greater than or equal to”, respectively.

[0043] According to the invention, the term “preventing” or “prevention” means reducing the risk of occurrence or slowing down the occurrence of a given phenomenon, namely, according to the present invention, the signs of ageing of a keratin material.

[0044] The term “organic UVA-screening agent” refers to any organic chemical molecule that is capable of absorbing at least UVA radiation in the wavelength range between 320 and 400 nm; said molecule may also additionally absorb UVB radiation in the wavelength range between 280 and 320 nm.

[0045] The term “organic UVB-screening agent” refers to any organic chemical molecule that is capable of exclusively absorbing UVB radiation in the wavelength range between 280 and 320 nm.

[0046] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the composition is in the form of an emulsion.

[0047] The term “emulsion” means any kinetically stable macroscopically homogeneous composition comprising at least two mutually immiscible phases, one being the continuous dispersing phase and the other being dispersed in said continuous phase in the form of droplets. The two phases are kinetically stabilized using at least one emulsifying system comprising, in general, at least one emulsifying surfactant.

[0048] A distinction is made between “direct” emulsions of the oil-in-water type, consisting of a continuous aqueous dispersing phase and a discontinuous oily dispersed phase, and “inverse” emulsions of the water-in-oil type, consisting of a continuous oily dispersing phase and a discontinuous aqueous dispersed phase. There are also multiple emulsions such as water-in-oil-in-water or oil-in-water-in-oil emulsions.Detailed description of the inventionUV-screening agents

[0199] For the purposes of the invention, the melting point corresponds to the temperature of the most endothermic peak observed on thermal analysis (DSC) as described in the standard ISO 11357-3; 1999. The melting point of the wax may be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), for example the calorimeter sold under the name DSC Q2000 by the company TA Instruments.

[0200] Preferably, the waxes that may be used in the composition of the present invention have a heat of fusion ∆Hf of greater than or equal to 70 J / g.

[0201] Preferably, the waxes include at least one crystallizable part, which is visible by X-ray observation.

[0202] The measuring protocol is as follows:

[0203] A sample of 5 mg of wax placed in a crucible is subjected to a first temperature ramp passing from -20°C to 120°C, at a heating rate of 10°C per minute, it is then cooled from 120°C to -20°C at a cooling rate of 10°C per minute and is finally subjected to a second temperature ramp passing from -20°C to 120°C at a heating rate of 5°C per minute. During the second temperature rise, the following parameters are measured:

[0204] - the melting temperature or melting point (m.p.) of the wax, as mentioned previously, corresponding to the temperature of the most endothermic peak observed in the melting curve, representing the variation of the difference in power absorbed as a function of the temperature,

[0205] - ∆Hf: the heat of fusion of the wax, corresponding to the integral of the entire melting curve obtained. This enthalpy of fusion of the wax is the amount of energy required to cause the compound to change from the solid state to the liquid state. It is expressed in J / g.

[0208] According to a preferred embodiment, the composition in accordance with the invention more precisely comprises at least one hard wax.

[0209] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “hard wax” means a wax having a melting point of greater than or equal to 50°C, in particular ranging from 50 to 100°C, more preferentially between 50 and 90°C.

[0210] Advantageously, for the purposes of the present invention, the term “hardwax” means a wax having, at 20°C, a hardness of greater than 5 MPa, notably ranging from 5 to 30 MPa, preferably greater than 6 MPa, better still ranging from 6 to 25 MPa.

[0211] To perform these hardness measurements, the wax is melted at a temperature equal to the melting point of the wax + 20°C. To do this, 30 g of wax are placed in a 100 ml beaker with a diameter equal to 50 mm, which is itself placed on a magnetic stirring hotplate.

[0212] About 15 g of melted wax are poured into a stainless steel container 80 mm in diameter and 15 mm deep, preheated to 45°C in an oven. The wax is then left to recrystallize in a temperature-controlled room at 20°C for 24 hours before being measured.

[0213] The mechanical properties of the wax or wax mixture are determined in a temperature-controlled room at 20°C, using the texturometer sold under the name TA-XT2i by the company Swantech, equipped with a stainless steel cylinder 2 mm in diameter.

[0214] The measurement includes three steps: a first step after automatic detection of the surface of the sample, where the spindle moves at a measuring speed of 0.1 mm / s, and penetrates into the wax to a penetration depth of 0.3 mm, the software notes the maximum force value reached; a second “relaxation” step where the spindle remains in this position for one second and the force is noted after 1 second of relaxation; finally, a third “withdrawal” step in which the spindle returns to its initial position at a speed of 1 mm / s, and the probe withdrawal energy (negative force) is noted.

[0215] The hardness value corresponds to the maximum compression force measured in newtons divided by the area of the texturometer cylinder expressed in mm2in contact with the wax. The hardness value obtained is expressed in megapascals or MPa.

[0216] As examples of hard waxes, mention may notably be made of carnauba wax, candelilla wax, hydrogenated jojoba oil, hydrogenated palm oil, rice bran wax, sumac wax, sunflower wax, macadamia wax and hydrogenated olive oil such as Waxolive from the company Soliance, waxes obtained by hydrogenation of olive oil esterified with C12 to C18 fatty-chain alcohols such as those sold by the company Sophim under the trade names Phytowax Olive 16L55 and 18L57, waxes obtained by hydrogenation of castor oil esterified with cetyl or behenyl alcohol, for instance those sold under the trade names Phytowax Ricin 16 L 64 and Phytowax Ricin 22 L 73 by the company Sophim.

[0219] The term “polarwax” means a wax whose solubility parameter calculated above its melting point δa is other than 0 (J / cm3)½.

[0220] In particular, the term “polarwax” means a wax whose chemical structure is formed essentially from, or even constituted of, carbon and hydrogen atoms, and comprising at least one highly electronegative heteroatom such as an oxygen, nitrogen, silicon or phosphorus atom.

[0221] The definition and calculation of the solubility parameters in the Hansen three-dimensional solubility space are described in the article by C.M. Hansen:The three-dimensional solubility parameters, J. Paint Technol. 39, 105 (1967).

[0222] According to this Hansen space:

[0223] - δD characterizes the London dispersion forces derived from the formation of dipoles induced during molecular impacts;

[0224] - δp characterizes the Debye interaction forces between permanent dipoles and also the Keesom interaction forces between induced dipoles and permanent dipoles;

[0225] - δh characterizes the specific interaction forces (such as hydrogen bonding, acid / base, donor / acceptor, etc.);

[0226] - δa is determined by the equation: δa = (δp² + δh²)½.

[0227] The parameters δp, δh, δD and δa are expressed in (J / cm3)½.

[0322] A / Examples of synthesis of lipophilic polymers comprising monomer units of formulae (A) and (B) in accordance with the invention

[0323] Determination of the molecular weight by gel permeation chromatography (GPC):

[0324] The sample is prepared by preparing a solution of the polymer at 10 mg / ml in tetrahydrofuran. The sample is placed in an oven at 54°C for 10 minutes and then in an oscillating shaker for 60 minutes to aid dissolution. After visual inspection, the sample appears to be totally dissolved in the solvent.

[0325] The sample prepared was analysed using two polypore 300×7.5 mm columns (manufactured by Agilent Technologies), a Waters 2695 chromatographic system, a tetrahydrofuran mobile phase and detection by refractive index. The sample was filtered through a 0.45 µm nylon filter, before being injected into the liquid chromatograph. The standards used for the calibration are the Easi Vial narrow polystyrene (PS) standards from Agilent Technologies.

[0326] Polystyrene standards ranging from 2 520 000 to 162 daltons were used for the calibration.

[0327] The system is equipped with a PSS SECcurity 1260 RI detector. The polystyrene calibration curve was used to determine the average molecular weight. The recording of the diagrams and the determination of the various molecular weights were performed by the Win GPC Unichrom 81 program.

[0328] Determination of the melting point by differential scanning calorimetry (or DSC):

[0329] This method describes the general procedure for determining the melting point of polymers by differential scanning calorimetry. This method is based on the standards ASTM E791 and ASTM D 34182 and the DSC calibration is performed according to standard ASTM E 9672.

[0330] Behenyl acrylate / 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer (Polymer 1):

[0331] In a 4-necked flask equipped with a side-blade mixer, an internal thermometer, two funnels, a reflux condenser, and an extension for two other necks, 175 g of behenyl acrylate, 25 g of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 0.4 g of 2,2’-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) (Akzo Nobel) were added, over the course of 60 minutes at 80°C, to 40 g of isopropanol, with stirring, after having removed the oxygen from the system by means of a nitrogen flush for 20 minutes. The mixture was stirred at 80°C for 3 hours. The solvent was then removed by vacuum distillation, then 1 g of dilauryl peroxide was added and the reaction was continued for 60 minutes at 110°C. The step was repeated. The mixture was then cooled to 90°C, a stream of demineralized water was added and the mixture was then stirred. The water was removed by vacuum distillation.

[0332] Molecular weight: Mn = 7300 g / mol, Mw = 21 000, Mw / Mn = 2.8

[0333] Melting point: 65°C

[0334] Stearyl acrylate / 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer (Polymer 2):

[0335] In a 4-necked flask equipped with a side-blade mixer, an internal thermometer, two funnels, a reflux condenser, and an extension for two other necks, 155 g of behenyl acrylate, 45 g of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 0.4 g of 2,2’-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) (Akzo Nobel) were added, over the course of 90 minutes at 80°C, to 50 g of isopropanol, with stirring, after having removed the oxygen from the system by means of a nitrogen flush for 20 minutes. The mixture was stirred at 80°C for 3 hours. The solvent was then removed by vacuum distillation, then 1 g of dilauryl peroxide was added and the reaction was continued for 60 minutes at 125 °C. The step was repeated. The mixture was then cooled to 90°C, a stream of demineralized water was added and the mixture was then stirred. The water was removed by vacuum distillation.

[0337] Melting point: 49°C

[0338] B / Formulation examples

[0339] In these examples, the amounts of the ingredients present in the compositions are given as weight percentages of starting materials, relative to the total weight of the composition.Application protocol:

[0340] The application of an antisun product in the context of a photoprotection test is an important step, as it has a significant impact on the SPF result. It must therefore be standardized and performed under the most favourable conditions possible.

[0341] This application is performed on the backs of three to ten volunteers.

[0342] Areas of 30 cm² on the back will be selected between the shoulder blades and the lower back for application of the products.

[0343] These areas must be free of spots, hairs, fuzz, moles or scars and must have a uniform colour.

[0344] When positioning the volunteer, the back must be perfectly flat.

[0345] It is possible to spread the product onto dry skin and also onto wet skin, so as to observe the homogeneity of the product on contact with water.

[0346] There must be a minimum gap of 1 cm between each area. These areas, each measuring 30 cm², should be drawn between the shoulder blades and the lower back. Before taking up any sample, and unless otherwise indicated, it is important to shake the product well so as to obtain good homogenization of the emulsion.

[0347] Saturation of the sampling instrument (pipette or syringe) must be performed for taring. Double weighing is necessary so as to ensure that the correct amount of product is applied. The application pre-tests allowed the amount of product to be taken up to be evaluated, so as to ensure that 2 mg / cm² ± 2.5% are indeed applied.

[0348] It is possible to apply the product with or without a finger stall. In the case of application with a finger stall, this must be tautly stretched over the pad of the finger so as to avoid excessive loss of product and to perform the application under optimum conditions.

[0349] It is possible to perform the application with or without a finger stall for the product, but the water will always be applied with the finger stall. Throughout the application, it is recommended to use light pressure, not to retrace the movement or to remove the finger, and to adhere to an application time of between 20 and 50 seconds.On dry skin:

[0350] The drops of product to be applied must be deposited evenly over the entire area and be of a uniform size. Care should be taken to ensure that the drops are not too close to the edges of the area to avoid excessive over-running during application.

[0351] During application, a certain number of factors need to be taken into account: the pressure applied must be light, and circular movements are essential. Ideally, it is necessary to start with small circles and widen them within the area, always in the same direction, moving gradually towards the other end of the area. To avoid excessive concentration of product in the centre, care must be taken to ensure that the product is drawn right up to the edge. Linear movements, for the finishing step, must be straight. It is recommended to perform this step quickly so as not to impair the homogeneity of the deposit.On wet skin:

[0352] The application procedure for wet skin is identical to that for dry skin.

[0353] Water is first applied in an amount of 1.7 mg / cm² and the product in an amount of 2 mg / cm² ± 2.5%.

[0354] Apply the water evenly over the entire test area, 1.7 mg / cm² of water (40 cm² = 68 mg), in the form of regular micro-droplets. Using a finger inserted in a finger stall, spread the drops quickly (between 10 and 15 seconds maximum), using circular movements followed by a single linear stroke (following the length of the area).

[0355] When applying the antisun product, the skin should still appear damp (micro-droplets visible on the surface). The antisun product to be tested should be applied immediately according to the method described previously.Protocol for evaluating the spreading:

[0356] Checking of the amount applied must be performed immediately after application.

[0357] Observation under a Wood lamp is necessary and allows the homogeneity of the deposit to be visualized. This evaluation is performed immediately, and then 15 minutes before UV exposure (differences may be observed at 15-minute intervals). In certain cases, an improvement in the homogeneity of the screening agents or a diffusion of the product may be found.

[0358] Protocol for evaluating the SPFin vivoon dry and wetskin

[0359] The evaluation of the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of the compositions on dry skin and on wet skin is performedin vivoaccording to the method ISO / EN 24444 “Cosmetics - Sun protection test methods -in-vivodetermination of the sun protection factor (SPF) (2019)”.Composition preparation method

[0360] Place phases A1, A2 and A3 successively in a stainless steel beaker. Place the beaker on a hotplate at 55°C with Rayneri blending. Once the phase is clear, add phase A4 to the beaker and then phases A5 and A6. Leave to homogenize for a few minutes until no more white grains are visible. Finish by adding phase A7, gradually increasing the stirring speed of the Rayneri blender. Once the phase is gelled and grain-free, pour it into the cos and then switch on the paddle stirrer. The jacket should be set to 60-65°C so as to maintain the temperature.

[0361] Weigh out the fatty phase B1 in a beaker, then place it on a hotplate until it reaches 80°C and the phase is clear. Switch off the heating, add phase B2 and leave to homogenize for a few minutes.

[0362] Then, using a funnel, pour phase B1 into the cos while at the same time turning on and increasing the speed of the impeller up to 40%. Switch off the heating to the jacket.

[0363] After 10 minutes of emulsifying, start cooling so as to reach a temperature of 55°C. Once this temperature has been reached, open the COS and add phase C, which has been homogenized using a spatula. Reactivate the blades and the impeller for 10 minutes. If necessary, add 5 or 10 minutes of stirring.

[0364] When the formula is smooth and homogeneous, continue cooling while still mixing with the impeller, but at 30%, until it reaches 35°C. Add phase E by opening the COS, and start stirring (blades and impeller at 40%) for 5 minutes. Add another 5 minutes if necessary so as not to have any deposit on the walls or blades. Continue cooling until a temperature of about 30°C is reached. Add phase F through the funnel, with continued stirring, for 5 minutes.

[0379] Composition 5 in accordance with the invention is easily applied to both dry and wet skin. The spread obtained and observed under a Wood lamp is homogeneous. The level of sun protection obtained is high.

[0380] Comparative composition 6 which does not contain any lipophilic polymer comprising monomer units of formulae (A) and (B) (C12-22 alkyl acrylate / hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer) and comparative composition 7 which does not contain any carrageenan are more difficult to spread, both on dry and wet skin, and the spread obtained and observed under a Wood lamp is not very homogeneous, which is reflected in a less effective level of sun protection on both dry and wet skin.
