Inorganic UV filters

Abstract: Nowadays, concern over skin cancer has been growing more and more, especially in tropical countries where the incidence of UVA/B radiation is higher. The correct use of sunscreen is the most efficient way to prevent the development of this disease. The ingredients of sunscreen can be organic and/or inorganic sun filters. Inorganic filters present some advantages over organic filters, such as photostability, non-irritability and broad spectrum protection. Nevertheless, inorganic filters have a whitening effect … Show more

“…L'Oreal Group was the first company that in August 1993 patented the use of nanoparticles of metal oxides as ingredients in sunscreens (Forestier et al, 1995). The action mode of both types of UV-filters is different: while the organic absorbs a specific wavelength, the inorganic ones can give a boarder spectrum protection due to their triple action mode: reflection, scattering and absorption of the UV radiation (Manaia et al, 2013). Sunscreens are usually comprised of one or more of these UV-filters: organic, inorganic or a mixture of both.…”

“…Besides SPF, the values of UVA/UVB ratio and kc (nm) are different with the incorporation of OP-S, OP-L and WP-S. According to the literature, the degree of UVB protection is higher than that of UVA protection provided by TiO 2 , unlike ZnO [12]. Thus, researchers thought that the incorporation of OP-S gave the greatest change of UV protection spectral range provided by TiO 2 due to the hydrophobicity and the small size of OP-S.…”

“…These inorganic filters are capable of blocking UVA/UVB rays through photon absorbance, scattering, and reflectance, over a wide range of wavelengths and not only through photon absorbance in a narrow range of wavelengths [10,11]. However, typical micro inorganic UV filters have a disadvantage in that they cause a whitening phenomenon due to the difference in refractive index between the micro inorganic UV filters and water [12]. In cosmetics, the general NC consists in a rutile TiO 2 core and is coated with Al(OH) 3 and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers to avoid photo-oxidation reactions and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [13].…”

“…6 Além disso, há a formação de um filme esbranquiçado e opaco sobre a pele, que é consequência do grande tamanho das partículas utilizadas (> 200 nm) e do seu alto índice de refração, que acabam refletindo a radiação UV e a luz visível. 7 Tais características são desvantajosas, pois comprometem a aceitação do produto pelo público, diminuindo o uso de filtro solar e aumentando os riscos da exposição à radiação UV.…”

“…Já que a redução do tamanho das partículas, dentro do intervalo de 15 e 50 nm, diminui a opacidade da formulação, gerando melhora não apenas na aparência final do produto e sensorial mais agradável, como também aumentando a eficácia em absorver a radiação. 7 Ademais, a utilização da nanotecnologia no desenvolvimento dessas NPs possibilita a retenção por mais tempo, nas camadas mais externas da pele, aumentando seu tempo de ação e tornando o produto mais aceito ao consumidor 3 . …”
