The present invention relates to the use of UV filter combinations comprising specific benzotriazole derivatives for cosmetic preparations.
It is well known that ultraviolet radiation (light) is harmful to human skin. Depending on the wavelength 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 and a broad band UV filter covering the full range from about 290 nm to about 400 nm to prevent the human skin from the damage of sunlight.

Suitable glycoside radicals include monoglycosides in which a cyclic sugar radical is glycosidically bonded to the fatty alcohol and also oligomeric glycosides having a degree of oligomerisation of up to preferably about 8. The degree of oligomerisation is a statistical average value based on a homologue distribution customary for such technical-grade products.
It is also possible to use zwitterionic surfactants as emulsifiers. The term “zwitterionic surfactants” denotes especially surface-active compounds that carry at least one quaternary ammonium group and at least one carboxylate and/or sulfonate group in the molecule. Zwitterionic surfactants that are especially suitable are the so-called betaines, such as N-alkyl-N,N-dimethylammonium glycinates, for example cocoalkyldimethylammonium glycinate, N-acylaminopropyl-N,N-dimethylammonium glycinates, for example cocoacylaminopropyldimethylammonium glycinate, and 2-alkyl-3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxyethylimidazolines each having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl or acyl group and also cocoacylaminoethylhydroxyethylcarboxymethylglycinate. Special preference is given to the fatty acid amide derivative known by the CTFA name cocamidopropyl betaine. Likewise suitable as emulsifiers are ampholytic surfactants. Ampholytic surfactants are to be understood as meaning especially those which, in addition to containing a C8-C18-alkyl or -acyl group, contain at least one free amino group and at least one —COOH or —SO3H group in the molecule and are capable of forming internal salts.

Ampholytic surfactants to which special preference is given are N-cocoalkyamino-propionate, cocoacylaminoethylaminopropionate and C12-C18acylsarcosine. In addition to the ampholytic emulsifiers there also come into consideration quaternary emulsifiers, special preference is given to those of the esterquat type, preferably methyl-quaternised di-fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts.
Non-ionic emulsifiers are preferred, preferably ethoxylated fatty alcohols having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms and from 4 to 30 EO units.
The emulsifiers may be used in an amount of, for example, from 1 to 30% by weight, especially from 4 to 20% by weight and preferably from 5 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. It is, however, also possible in principle to dispense with the use of emulsifiers.

A natural deodorizing 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. Glycerol monolaurate has also proved to be a bacteriostatic agent. The amount of the additional bacteria-inhibiting agents present is usually from 0.1 to 2% by weight, based on the solids content of the cosmetic composition according to the present invention.
