چکیده
Article history: Received on: 06/07/2013 Accepted on: 19/07/2013 Available online: 30/08/2013 The objective of this study was to develop sunscreen cream formulations with high sun protection factor (SPF) and satisfied characteristics. The actives were anisotriazine (an organic UV filter) and titanium dioxide (an inorganic UV filter). Two optimal cream bases selected from several preliminary formulations were prepared and incorporated with both actives in the legislated concentrations via emulsification process. The samples were determined for in vitro SPF, physical appearance, pH, and viscosity. Moreover, the sunscreen creams were compared for SPF with those of their counterparts containing either anisotriazine or titanium dioxide at the identical concentrations. The stability was studied under freeze-thaw condition. The results indicated that synergistic efficacy on SPF of sunscreen combination was confirmed. The intrinsic properties of cream bases, especially viscosity, affected the SPF of the final products.

New Combination of Ultraviolet Absorbers in an Oily Emollient Increases Sunscreen Efficacy and Photostability
INTRODUCTION It is now recognized that to adequately protect skin from sun damage, sunscreens require a photostable combination of ultraviolet (UV) filters with a suitable level of UVA protection. The total amount of UV filters should be as low as possible to avoid adverse skin reactions, potential environmental impact, and to ensure acceptable texture for better application and usage. METHOD...

A new in-vitro SPF test method for determining the efficacy of sun care products was proposed and evaluated. The test method is based on UV (Ultra Violet) dosage cumulate response using Gafchromic EBT3 film. In-vitro SPF value of 2 sunscreen standards and 15 commercial products, including sunscreen lotions, BB creams, foundations and sprays with organic and/or inorganic UV filters, were measure...

Commercial sunscreens may offer some protection from immunosuppression induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, but agreement concerning the degree of protection is lacking. Cis-urocanic acid, formed by the photoisomerization of transurocanic acid is considered an important mediator of the cutaneous immunomodulation resulting from exposure to UV radiation. We investigated the effect of sunscreens...
