The present disclosure relates to compositions capable of absorbing UVA and UVB light. In particle, the present disclosure relates to UV screening compositions comprising at least a portion of LITE-1 polypeptides which are capable of absorbing UV light (e.g., UV-A and/or UV-B light).Linvention concerne des compositions aptes à absorber la lumière UVA et UVB. Linvention concerne en particulier des compositions filtrant les UV, comprenant au moins une partie de polypeptides LITE-1 aptes à absorber une lumière UV (par exemple, une lumière UV-A et/ou UV-B).
