The use of lipo-amino acid alkyl esters as SPF (Sun Protection Factor) boosters in cosmetic compositions comprising a sun filter is described. Said alkyl esters, when added to cosmetic compositions containing a sun filter, increase their SPF value to an extent of even 50% or higher: it is thereby possible to significantly reduce the amount of sun filter used, while maintaining a high SPF. The SPF booster effect was observed in different types of cosmetic compositions and with different sun filters, thereby supporting the wide use of the present alkyl esters in cosmetic compositions for the use described herein. Said alkyl esters have a strong natural connotation, respectful of the environment and of the organic tissues, and can in turn be obtained by eco-friendly synthesis methods which do not involve the use of aggressive reagents which could remain in traces in the final cosmetic product: photoprotective cosmetic compositions are thereby obtained which have high safety of use and are likely to be better accepted by the consumer.
本文介绍了在含有防晒剂的化妆品组合物中使用脂
氨基酸烷基酯作为
SPF(防晒系数)增强剂的情况。将上述烷基酯添加到含有防晒剂的化妆品组合物中,可以将其
SPF 值提高到 50%或更高:这样就可以在保持较高
SPF 值的同时显著减少防晒剂的用量。在不同类型的化妆品组合物和不同的防晒滤光剂中都观察到了
SPF 增效作用,从而支持了本发明的烷基酯在化妆品组合物中的广泛应用。所述烷基酯具有强烈的天然内涵,尊重环境和有机组织,可以通过环保的合成方法获得,不需要使用可能在最终化妆品中残留痕量的侵蚀性试剂:因此获得的防晒化妆品组合物具有很高的使用安全性,可能更容易被消费者接受。
