Reducing Adverse Effects from UV Sunscreens by Zeolite Encapsulation: Comparison of Oxybenzone in Solution and in Zeolites

Abstract: Oxybenzone (OXB) is one of the most widely employed sunscreen ingredients, yet its allowed load is limited to a maximum of 6% reflecting the frequency with which adverse effects are reported. From a spectroscopic point of view, OXB has excellent absorption properties in both the UVB and UVA regions. We propose that zeolite encapsulation can lead to a sunscreen composite ingredient, that we describe as a supramolecular sunscreen, that will retain the excellent spectroscopic properties of OXB, while preventing c… Show more

“…There is also some controversy in observed adverse dermatological effects from skin-OB contact. , Elucidating the energy dissipation mechanism within OB could aid the selection and design of better sunscreens, or suggest improvements in the use of OB itself. For example, recent studies have suggested that the adverse effects of skin-OB contact might be reduced through the use of zeolite encapsulation. , …”

“…Finally, among other inorganic materials, mesoporous silicates were proposed to develop particulate carriers for chemical sunscreens [22,39]. Exploiting their high surface area, narrow poresize distribution and one-dimensional hexagonally ordered pore structure, these materials can represent suitable hosts for organic sunscreens [40].…”

“…To circumvent these limitations, considerable research efforts have been made to develop a blend of sunscreen and sunblock by encapsulating UV-absorbing molecules into biocompatible polymers or inorganic materials and by reducing the size of the UV-blocking particles to the nanometer scale. However, these efforts have resulted in only a slight mitigation of the negative side effects without resolving the fundamental problems.…”
