Innovation in inorganic UV filters in sunscreen
There are many benefi ts that are brought by sun, such as positive feeling and mood and trigger the production of vitamin D in skin. But giving to the skin an overdose of ultraviolet rays (UV) may be harmful to our bodies and result in premature skin ageing, skin cancers, eye damage and photoimmunosuppression. UV radiation is made up of three types of rays with different wavelength (λ): ultravi...
متن کاملSpectrophotometric determination of UV protection provided by cosmetic products with sunscreen properties
Introduction It is well known that overexposure to the sunlight, particularly to UV rays, may cause many skin defects, like sunburns (erythema), premature skin aging (wrinkles), photosensitivity, suppression of the immune system or even skin cancers. For many years, sunscreens have been recommended by dermatologists, not only as a protective measure against excessive amounts of sunlight, but al...
متن کاملSunscreen for Fish: Co-Option of UV Light Protection for Camouflage
Many animals change their body pigmentation according to illumination of their environment. In aquatic vertebrates, this reaction is mediated through aggregation or dispersion of melanin-filled vesicles (melanosomes) in dermal pigment cells (melanophores). The adaptive value of this behavior is usually seen in camouflage by allowing the animal to visually blend into the background. When exposed...
متن کاملSun protection and sunscreen labeling--an update.
Sun exposure is today well recognized as having an adverse effect on human skin. Part of sun radiation, ultraviolet radiation A (UVA) and B (UVB), can modify skin structures and induce short-term skin changes (sunburn, tanning, hyperkeratinization, brown spots) and long-term skin damages (accelerated skin aging and skin cancers). Protection against both UVA and UVB is very important, therefore ...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying UV-induced immune suppression: implications for sunscreen design.
The ultraviolet (UV) radiation present in sunlight is immune-suppressive. Recently we showed that solar-simulated UV radiation (UVA + UVB; 295-400 nm), applied after immunization, suppressed immunological memory and the elicitation of delayed-type hypersensitivity to the common opportunistic pathogen, Candida albicans. Further, we found that wavelengths in the UVA region of the solar spectrum (...
