PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition effective to reduce or prevent lipid peroxidation upon exposure of a lipid to UV light.SOLUTION: There is provided a composition of a synergistically effective ratio of a hydroxamic acid, salt and/or a complex thereof and an antioxidant. The composition is effective to reduce or prevent lipid peroxidation upon exposure of a lipid to UV light. There is also provided a method for using personal care and other formulations are used to increase the antioxidant potential of an antioxidant. There are further provided a method for reducing a rate of peroxidation of constituent lipids in a personal care formulation over a certain time period and a method for reducing peroxidation of lipids within mammalian skin cells.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】紫外光暴露による脂質過酸化低減に有効な組成物の提供。【解決手段】ヒドロキサム酸、その塩及び/又は錯体と抗酸化剤との相乗的に有効な比率の組成物。該組成物は、脂質が紫外光に曝されるときの脂質過酸化を低減又は抑制するために有効であり、パーソナルケア配合物及び他の配合物を用いて、抗酸化剤の抗酸化能を高める方法、或る期間にわたるパーソナルケア配合物中の脂質成分の過酸化の速度を下げる方法、及び哺乳動物の皮膚細胞内の脂質の過酸化を低減する方法。【選択図】なし
