Abstract
Abstract Sunscreening compositions are disclosed which comprise a pharmaceutical extending medium having incorporated therein a substantive, dermally non-irritating, ultraviolet light absorbing compound which is a polyfunctional organic molecule containing two or more ultraviolet absorbing moieties connected by two or more polar linking groups to one or more aliphatic bridging groups. These sunscreening compositions are resistant to removal by water and mild abrasion but are readily removed by soap and water.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
In a sunscreening composition comprising a pharmaceutical extending medium and an effective sunscreening amount of a dermally non-irritating, ultraviolet light-absorbing compound, the improvement wherein the dermally non-irritating, ultraviolet light-absorbing compound is a substantive compound of the formula (XE).sub.n --R--(AY).sub.n.spsb.1 Wherein R is the aliphatic portion of polymerized 18-carbon fatty acids and contains 34, 51, 68, 85 or 102 carbon atoms; A and E are independently ##STR43## X and Y are aromatic, ultraviolet light absorbing moieties characterized by ultraviolet light absorption maxima in the range of 280 nm to about 360 nm, and when n + n 1 is greater than 2, Y may be hydrogen or an alkyl radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; n l and n 1 are independently integers from 1 to 6 designating different or the same (XE)-- and --(AY) respectively, except n + n 1 must equal 2-6.
