1. A composition suitable for topical administration comprising a matrix composition of a mixture of structurally diverse matrix particles that are formed from at least three different types of primary particles comprising (a) a first primary particle population, (b) a second primary particle population, and (c) a third primary particle population, wherein (i) the first primary particle population has an average particle size from 1000 nm to 8500 nm, makes up 4-9% of the composition by weight, and 20-70% of the first primary particle population comprises a glass composition, (ii) the second particle population has an average particle size from 250 nm to 500 nm, makes up 5-15% of the composition by weight and comprises UV-protective particles, (iii) the third particle population has an average particle size from 500 nm to 1000 nm, makes up 6.75-22% of the composition by weight, and at least 75% of the third particle population comprises UV-protective metal oxide particles, and (iv) the composition exhibits a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30, a critical wavelength of at least 370 nm, a UVA/UVB ratio of at least 0.333, and a UVA1 to UV ratio of at least 0.7.
