The present invention relates to a composite pigment comprising a stacking of at least two plate-like substrates and at least one UV filter material located at least in part between the at least two plate-like substrates. The composite pigment can be prepared by a method comprising a step of subjecting a plurality of substrates, at least one UV filter, and optionally a coloring pigment, to a hybridizer process.
