Cosmetic compositions containing a combination of UV-absorbers including a triazine derivative

A topical cosmetic for protecting the skin or hair against UV contains (a) a 2,4,6-tris-amino-s-triazine derivative A, B or C of formula (I) as a first UV filter; and (b) at least one further UV filter (II) selected from ethyl p-aminobenzoate (25 mol) ethoxylated, 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate, 2-ethylhexyl-2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-acrylate, 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulphonic acid (or its salt), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulphonic acid, 3-(4'-methylbenzylidene)-d,l-camphor or 2,4,6-trianilino-(p-carbo-2'-ethylhexyl-1'-hydroxy)-1,3,5-triazine. In A, R1 = 2-ethylhexyl, R2 = tert. butyl and X = NH; in B, R1, R2 = 2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexyl and X = O; and in C, R1 = methylcyclohexyl, R2 = 2-ethylhexyl and X = O. Also claimed is the use of combinations of (I) and (II) as a light protectant.
