Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a safe inorganic ultraviolet (UV) filter with activity against UV damage. However, the recombination of carrier’s charge and tendency for TiO2 aggregation are main disadvantages. Substrate supports, such as mesoporous silica, biocompatible strategies to incorporate TiO2, altering its interaction skin. Since lips sensitive adversities environment, including radiation, ...

As diseases caused by solar radiation have gained great prominence, several methods to prevent them been developed. Among the most common, use of sunscreens is customary and accessible. The application theoretical has helped design new compounds with therapeutic protective functions. Natural described photoprotective potential properties (3-O-methylquercetin, gallic acid, aloin, catechin, querc...
