Analysis and Modeling of Sunscreen Ingredients’ Behavior in an Aquatic Environment

Sunscreens have become a product based on increasingly complex formulations that include, among many ingredients, mixture of UV filters to provide optimal sun ultraviolet radiation protection. A significant group scientific works deals with the impact in aquatic media. However, knowledge mechanism and kinetics compound’s direct release, fate, its transformation interaction living organisms is necessary assess environmental occurrence behavior predict potential real impacts environment. This review outlines existing analysis modeling release sunscreen’s ingredients marine environment, including organisms. The physical-chemical properties, photodegradation, particles chemicals into water are studied by hydrodynamic kinetic models. Direct photolysis modeled as pseudo-first-order kinetics, while indirect pathway reaction sunscreen reactive oxygen species described second-order kinetics. biota mainly toxicokinetic models, which their bio-accumulation organisms’ tissues. These models consider chemicals’ uptake excretion, well transfer between different internal animal organs, first-order process. studies analyzed present work represent driver change for beauty personal care industry, order seek new ecological alternatives through application R&D tactics.
