Acute and chronic exposure of human skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation have induced damage effects with consequent skin disorders, like erythema, oxidative damage, photoaging, and skin carcinogenesis. 1,2 However, such harmful effects can be mitigated by some reported methods, such as the use of proper clothing and sunglasses, the stratospheric ozone layer protection, as well as the application of topical products named sunscreens, which offer skin photoprotection. Also, avoiding the outdoor exposition during the hours of more UV intensity and seeking protection in shadows are strategies to reduce UV exposure of the skin. These topical formulations contain components that absorb, reflect, or spread the UVA and/or UVB radiation. 3 Moreover, nowadays, formulations contain association of organic and inorganic filters and even the presence of antioxidants and natural compounds. 4,5 The awareness of UV exposition harms led to a wider use of sunscreens in the last years, which brought concerns about environmental
