2. The bodywash of claim 1 , wherein the sunscreen is an organic sunscreen selected from the group consisting of aminobenzoic acid, avobenzone, cinoxate, dioxybenzone, homosalate, menthyl anthranilate, octocrylene, octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, oxybenzone, padimate O, phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, sulisobenzone, and trolamine salicylate.

3. The bodywash of claim 1 wherein the organic sunscreen is a cinnamate derivative.

4. The bodywash of claim 1 , comprising 3 organic sunscreens.

5. The bodywash of claim 4 , wherein the 3 organic sunscreens are selected from the group consisting of aminobenzoic acid, avobenzone, cinoxate, dioxybenzone, homosalate, menthyl anthranilate, octocrylene, octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, oxybenzone, padimate O, phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, sulisobenzone, and trolamine salicylate.

6. The bodywash of claim 4 , further comprising an inorganic sunscreen.

7. The bodywash of claim 6 , wherein the inorganic sunscreen is selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

8. The bodywash of claim 1 , further comprising a cationic polymer.

9. The bodywash of claim 1 , wherein the cationic polymer is a polyquaternium.

10. The bodywash of claim 9 wherein the polyquaternium is polyquaternium-4, -7, -11, -22, -27, -44, -51, or -64.

11. The bodywash of claim 1 , wherein the cationic polymer is polyquaternium-4.

12. The bodywash of claim 8 , further comprising a film former.

13. The bodywash of claim 12 further comprising a preservative.

14. The bodywash of claim 12 further comprising an antioxidant that is stable upon exposure to sunlight.

15. The bodywash of claim 1 , wherein the sunscreen is a UVB absorber sunscreen, and further comprising a UVA absorber sunscreen and a physical blocker sunscreen, and wherein

(i) the UVB-absorber sunscreen is selected from the group consisting of aminobenzoic acid, cinoxate, dioxybenzone, homosalate, octocrylene, octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, oxybenzone, padimate O, phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, sulisobenzone, and trolamine salicylate;

(ii) the UVA-absorber sunscreen is selected from the group consisting of avobenzone and menthyl anthranilate; and

(iii) the physical blocker sunscreen is selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

16. The bodywash of claim 1 wherein the SPF of at least 15 is maintained for at least about 4 hours after rinsing.

17. The bodywash of claim 1 wherein, after application of the bodywash to skin and rinsing, the sunscreen penetrates an average of no further than 30 microns into the skin after application followed by rinsing.

18. The bodywash of claim 1 comprising a UVA-absorbing sunscreen, a UVB-absorbing sunscreen, a physical blocker sunscreen, and a cationic polymer and wherein at least one of the UVA-absorbing sunscreen and the UVB-absorbing sunscreen is encapsulated in the sol-gel microcapsules.

19. The bodywash of claim 18 , wherein the cationic polymer is a polyquaternium.

20. The bodywash of claim 19 wherein the polyquaternium is polyquaternium-4, -7, -11, -22, -27, -44, -51, or -64.

21. The bodywash of claim 19 , wherein the cationic polymer is polyquaternium-4.

22. The bodywash of claim 18 , further comprising a film former.

23. The additive of claim 18 further comprising a preservative.

24. The bodywash of claim 18 further comprising an antioxidant that is stable upon exposure to sunlight.
