Topical composition
The present invention relates to specific topical compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT), butyloctyl salicylate and at least one inorganic UV-filter selected from titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Said compositions exhibit an appealing skin feel and look.

(iii) an amount of 0.5 to 10 wt.-% of butyloctyl salicylate effective to reduce the whitening effect of the topical composition due to the presence of the at least one UV-filter as determined by a lower L value as compared to a topical composition comprising the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and the at least one UV-filter but not comprising the butyloctyl salicylate, wherein
the topical composition has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 18.2 with the proviso that the composition does not comprise isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and ethylhexyl 2-cyano-octocrylene.
2 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the bis ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine is present in an amount of 0.8 to 5 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the topical composition.
3 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the butyloctyl salicylate is present in an amount of 1 to 8 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the topical composition.
4 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the the inorganic UV-filter is present in an amount of 1 to 20 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the composition.
5 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic UV-filter is surface coated.
6 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic UV-filter is selected from the group consisting of double coated titanium dioxide having an inner silica coating and an outer dimethicone coating, zinc oxide coated with triethoxycaprylylsilane and mixtures thereof.
7 . The topical compositions according to claim 1 , wherein the topical composition is an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase in the presence of an O/W emulsifier.
8 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the topical composition further comprises at least one oil selected from the group consisting of butylene glycol, dicaprylate/dicaprate, phenethyl benzoate, C 12 -C 15 alkyl benzoate, dibutyl adipate, diisopropyl sebacates, dicaprylyl carbonate, di-C 12-13 alkyl tartrates, diethylhexyl syringylidene malonates, hydrogenated castor oil dimerates, triheptanoin, C 12-13 alkyl lactates, C 16-17 alkyl benzoates, propylheptyl caprylates, caprylic/capric triglycerides, diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalates, octyldodecanol, ethylhexyl cocoates and dibutyl adipate.
9 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the topical composition comprises at least one preservative and/or preservative booster selected from the group consisting of ethanol, p hydroxyacetophenone, phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin.
10 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the topical composition further comprises at least one further component selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, crosslinked acrylate/C 10 -C 30 alkyl acrylate polymer and hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer.
11 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the topical composition further comprises at least one co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate.
12 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the topical composition at least one alkanediol selected if the preparation comprises from the group consisting of 1,2 pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-decanediol, propanediol, propylene glycol and 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol.
13 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the the SPF of the topical composition is at least 20.
14 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the SPF of the topical composition is at least 20.
15 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the bis ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine is present in an amount of 1 to 5 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the topical composition.
16 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the butyloctyl salicylate is present in an amount of 2 to 6 wt. %, based on the total weight of the topical composition.
17 . The topical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic UV-filter is present in an amount of 2 to 15 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the composition.
18 . The topical composition according to claim 7 , wherein the O/W emulsifier is a cetyl phosphate.
19 . The topical composition according to claim 18 , wherein the O/W emulsifier is potassium cetyl phosphate.
20 . A method of reducing the whitening effect caused by an inorganic UV-filter selected from titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide when applied to a surface in a topical composition comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and the inorganic UV-filter, wherein the method comprises the step of adding to the topical composition an effective amount of 0.5 to 10 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the topical composition, of butyloctyl salicylate sufficient to reduce the whitening effect of the topical composition due to the presence of the at least one UV-filter as determined by a lower L value as compared to an identical topical composition not comprising the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and the at least one UV-filter but not comprising the butyloctyl salicylate.
