“…Moriwaki et al 15 reported the suppression of melanin production under the irradiation of red light emitting diode (LED) (620-630 nm) and blue LED (465-470 nm). Gold 16 has recommended phototherapy with blue light to improve skin conditions in cases of acne and blemishes. Shnitkind et al 17 have described that a narrow-band blue light (420 nm) had an anti-inflammatory effect on keratinocytes by decreasing the cytokine-induced production of IL-1a and ICAM-1.…”

Micrometer-sized polymer particles with encapsulated ultraviolet (UV) absorbent, fluorescent agent, and blue pigment were successfully prepared by microsuspension polymerization utilizing the Self-assembling of Phase Separated Polymer method. The particles were characterized by optical microscope and particle size distribution analysis, and they were evaluated on their usefulness for cosmetic using UV spectrometry, colorimetry, VISIA TM Evolution, and bioassay. The capsule particles had multifunctional properties, which are very attractive in the cosmetic field, especially in whitening, brightening, the improvement of face-texture, and less noticeable pores in face, as well as the protection from UV. Moreover, bioactivities of the particles under the UV irradiation, which were examined with the films prepared from capsule components, revealed not only makeup effect but also the activation of human epidermal keratinocytes. The results suggest the importance of blue light in the field of cosmetics.
