Topically applicable, water resistant cosmetic/dermatological compositions well suited for enhanced photoprotection of human skin and or/hair against the damaging effects of UV-A and UV-B irradiation, particularly solar radiation, comprise (I) a continuous aqueous dispersing phase, (ii) a first discontinuous globular oily dispersed phase O 1 , (iii) a second discontinuous globular oily dispersed phase O 2 , (iv) at least one O/W emulsifying agent, (v) at least one W/O emulsifying agent, (vi) a photoprotecting effective amount of at least one lipophilic UV screening agent, (vii) a photoprotecting effective amount of at least one hydrophilic screening agent, said first and second oily phases O 1 and O 2 being mutually incompatible, and the globules constituting said oily phase O 1 having an average size which is different from the globules constituting said oily phase O 2 . |
