Active sunscreen ingredients in Australia

Abstract: UV radiation exposure is the major contributor to photocarcinogenesis and photoageing. Reducing UV radiation exposure can be achieved by using adequate sunscreen preparations. The use of sunscreen can significantly reduce the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma, actinic keratoses and invasive melanoma. In the Australian market over 900 sunscreen products are available, each with their own brand, formulation and ingredients. It can be difficult for dermatologists and consumers to determine which are the most e… Show more

“…As with previous reports, benzophenone‐3 demonstrated a high prevalence of positive photoallergic reaction (4.7%); this is because it has been frequently used as a photoprotective agent in sunscreens and personal care products 5,11,26,27 . However, positive photoallergic reactions to benzophenone‐3 in our participants mainly come from sunscreen.…”

“…Exploring novel, safe, and effective photoprotective compounds is important because many existing optical protectants have some limitations due to their esthetics and the local skin reactions that they cause . Studies have shown that milk thistle and olive extracts prevent sun‐induced skin damage, while ellagic acid and rosmarinic acid could prevent damage due to UVB in HaCaT cells .…”

“…The organic ingredients, such as avobenzone and octocrylene, are known to cause endocrine disruption and skin irritation. 9,10 Furthermore, these organic compounds are easily decomposed by UV rays, resulting in reduction of their UV-absorbing efficiency over time. 11 The inorganic ingredients, such as titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and zinc oxide (ZnO), are generally regarded as being safer than their organic counterparts for their biocompatibility, but they also have drawbacks, such as being opaque and photocatalytic.…”
