The invention relates to photoprotective personal care compositions. It is an object of the present invention to provide for benefits of photoprotection over the visible light region while giving the skin a pleasing even appearance. This is achieved by using a selective combination of an inorganic pigment particle that has a specific light scattering property (reflection of incident light predominantly in the blue region) and an organic dye that has a specific light absorption property (absorption of incident light predominantly in the blue region).
