Photostability of commercial sunscreens upon sun exposure and irradiation by ultraviolet lamps

Abstract: Background: Sunscreens are being widely used to reduce exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The fact that some sunscreens are photounstable has been known for many years. Since the UV-absorbing ingredients of sunscreens may be photounstable, especially in the long wavelength region, it is of great interest to determine their degradation during exposure to UV radiation. Our aim was to investigate the photostability of seven commercial sunscreen products after natural UV exposure (UVnat) and artificia… Show more

“…In our experiments, we tested whether irradiation in the presence of Dermud™ would protect the yeast cells during UVB irradiation, and indeed, we found over 80% protection compared with cells irradiated in the presence of saran wrap alone. Sunscreens usually comprise many different components some of which may be oxidized upon initial exposure to UV particularly if they are exposed to sunlight while in contact with the skin and studies to determine photostability of commercial products have been undertaken (e.g., Gaspar and Maia Campos 2006;Gonzalez et al 2007). We propose that this bioluminescent yeast assay could be useful for such studies.…”

“…The formulations were exposed to a UV-B radiation dose (26 mJ/cm 2 ) for 2 h to simulate the solar radiation exposure (Gonzalez et al, 2007). Non-irradiated PM2 and melatonin solution (water:ethanol, 50:50) (Mel Sol) formulations were used as negative controls of the irradiated group.…”

“…Estudos anteriores demonstram que alguns filtros solares perdem parte de sua capacidade fotoprotetora quando em contato com a radiação UV (DAMIANI et al, 2006;MARROT et al, 2004;GONZÁLEZ et al, 2007) e, ainda, que a fotoinativação não é um fenômeno que necessita de grandes doses de UV para acontecer (MAIER et al, 2001). Além disso, de acordo com Bonda, Zhang e Pavlovic (2011) o contato com a radiação UV pode reduzir significativamente a atividade antioxidante do trans-resveratrol.…”

“…Além disso, de acordo com Bonda, Zhang e Pavlovic (2011) o contato com a radiação UV pode reduzir significativamente a atividade antioxidante do trans-resveratrol. Portanto, o estudo da fotoestabilidade é de grande relevância na área de fotoproteção, visto que a fotolabilidade dos filtros solares e antioxidantes pode reduzir a proteção oferecida por essas moléculas contra a radiação UV (BONDA;PAVLOVIC, 2011;DAMIANI et al, 2006;GONZÁLEZ et al, 2007;MARROT et al, 2004), e que a fotolabilidade dos filtros solares pode ainda levar à formação de intermediários reativos, os quais podem promover dermatites de contato e reações fototóxicas na pele (GASPAR; MAIA CAMPOS, 2006). Dessa forma, os fotoprotetores devem possuir uma associação de filtros solares estável frente à radiação UV para garantir sua eficácia, ou seja, para conferir proteção adequada contra as radiações UVA e UVB durante todo período de exposição ao sol.…”
