[0223] Measurement of Fabric Staining

[0224] Fabric staining of sunscreen compositions was measured by the L*a*b as described above. The measurement was performed with a spectrophotometer using the following instrument: Remission Spectrometer Datacolor SF 400 (light D65, observer 10°).

[0225] The difference between the color of a sunscreen composition stain on a white textile and the color of the white textile alone was determined following the assumption that ΔE*=Δb* in order to determine fabric staining. The lower the color difference, the lower is the fabric staining.

[0226] Further, the difference between the color of a sunscreen composition stain on a white textile after 1 or 3 washing cycles and the color of the white textile alone was determined following the assumption that ΔP*=Δb* in order to determine the washability. The lower the color difference in comparison to the value obtained before washing, the more has fabric staining been reduced, i.e. the better the washability of the sunscreen composition from textiles.

[0227] For applying the sunscreen compositions in order to make a stain on a white textile, the sunscreen composition was diluted in water or ethanol at a concentration of 10% by weight based on the total weight of the diluted mixture. 300 mg (15 mg/cm.sup.2) of the diluted mixture is applied on a white textile (whiteness adjusted to WG 170±10, after washing WG 190±10) in order to obtain a stain.

[0228] For determining the washability, 1 or 3 washing cycles were performed in a washing machine using a temperature of 40° C. for 20 minutes and Persil Universal Gel obtained from Henkel (3 g on stain). Each textile was washed separately.

[0229] The results for sunscreen compositions 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a and 2b are shown in Table 2.1.a, 2.1.b and FIG. 1.
