Considering the rapid growth of tourism in recent years and acknowledgement that exposure to solar UV radiation may cause skin cancer, sunscreens have been widely used by beachgoers decades. filters contained sunscreens, however, were recently identified as emerging pollutants coastal waters since they accumulate marine environment with different adverse effects. In fact, these components was p...

The risk of developing skin cancer from ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can be mitigated with sunscreens. Safety and aesthetic concerns about commercial sunscreens have led to our development a bioadhesive nanoparticle (BNP) sunscreen platform. Building upon prior work encapsulating FDA-approved agents avobenzone octocrylene, we now also encapsulated EU-approved diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl be...

Aim: To learn more about percutaneous absorption of the photoactive compound benzophenone-3 (BZ-3) and to study the excretion pattern of BZ-3 and its metabolite dihydroxy benzophenone (DHB). We also got the opportunity to develop a reverse-phase HPLC method to analyze BZ-3 and DHB. The photostability of seven commercial sunscreens was also studied. Material and methods: Paper I: 11 participants...

Human skin is constantly exposed to damaging ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which induces a number of acute and chronic disorders. To reduce the risk of UV-induced skin injury, people apply an additional external protection in the form of cosmetic products containing sunscreens. Nowadays, because of the use of some chemical filters raises a lot of controversies, research focuses on exploring nove...

Adequate sun protection is often neglected during occupational outdoor work. To investigate the acceptance and usability of sunscreens during outdoor work a single-blind, randomized-controlled, cross-over trial was performed in 40 subjects. Two sunscreen formulations were used daily on working days for 4 weeks at a time, with a wash-out phase before crossover. The primary outcome was overall ac...
