“…Sunscreens can be divided into two general categories; physical and chemical (Algra & Knox 1978;Parrish 1982;Pathak 1982). Physical sunscreens contain particulate matter which reflects and scatters light in a nonspecific manner.…”

Skin disorders are very common among elderly people. All physicians who care for this population should possess the ability to recognise common benign growths. Primary care physicians should also have the ability to recognise premalignant and malignant lesions, so that early diagnosis and treatment is possible. It is puzzling that the organ system most amenable to examination is so often overlooked in routine examinations. By simply taking the time to perform a skin examination, morbidity and mortality can be decreased. Through improvements in pharmacotherapy, particularly the development of more effective sunscreens, it may eventually be possible to markedly reduce the development of many benign and malignant skin lesions.

“…The popularity of PABA has diminished over the years since the introduction of the PABA esters. Para‐aminobenzoic acid esters include amyl dimethyl PABA (Padimate A or Escolol 506) and octyl dimethyl PABA (also known as Padimate O or Escolol 507) 21 . The PABA esters are more chemically versatile, do not stain clothing, and have less incidence of contact dermatitis 3,23 .…”

Sunscreens reduce the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering photons. Ultraviolet radiation includes UVB, which is primarily responsible for sunburn and skin cancers, as well as UVA, which has been implicated in photoaging. Topical photoprotective agents include physical and chemical sunscreens. Physical sunscreens are important in individuals who are unusually sensitive to UVA and visible light such as those with photosensitizing diseases. Chemical sunscreens are more cosmetically appealing and can selectively absorb UVB and/or UVA. The increased awareness of the importance of sun protection has encouraged the regular use of sunscreens. This article will review physical and chemical sunscreens. The properties and vehicle design of various sunscreen formulations are also discussed.
