UV Filters: Challenges and Prospects

Pharmaceuticals, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 263 - 263

Published: Feb. 22, 2022

The use of sunscreens is an established and recommended practice to protect skin from solar-induced damage. Around 30 UV filters can be used in sunscreen products the European Union, which ought follow requirements regulation 1223/2009 ensure their efficacy safety for humans. Nevertheless, low photostability putative toxicity humans environment have been reported some filters. Particularly, negative impact marine organisms has recently raised concern on scientific community. Therefore, it important develop new with improved profile photostability. Over last two decades, nearly 200 compounds revealed promising photoprotection properties. explored were obtained through different approaches, including exploration natural sources, synthetic pathways, nanotechnology. Almost 50 around 140 derivatives, such as benzimidazoles, benzotriazoles, hydroxycinnamic acids, xanthones, triazines, among others, studied aiming discovery novel, effective, safer future photoprotective agents. Herein, we provide reader overview about filters' challenges prospects, offering a forward-looking next-generation

Toxic effects of UV filters from sunscreens on coral reefs revisited: regulatory aspects for “reef safe” products

Environmental Sciences Europe, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 33(1)

Published: June 26, 2021

Abstract Background Tropical coral reefs have been recognized for their significant ecological and economical value. However, increasing anthropogenic disturbances led to progressively declining reef ecosystems on a global scale. More recently, several studies implicated UV filters used in sunscreen products negatively affect corals possibly contribute regional trends decline. Following public debate, bans were implemented organic different locations including Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands Palau. This included banning widely oxybenzone octinoxate, while promoting use of inorganic such as zinc oxide even although toxicity towards aquatic organisms had documented previously. The based preliminary scientific that showed weaknesses there is this point no standardized testing scheme scleractinian corals. Despite lack sound proof, latter controversial already resulted emergence new market claimed be ‘reef safe’ (or similar). Thus, analysis was conducted assess relevant environmental safety aspects approved filters, especially reefs. Further, scientifically decision-making process regulatory context proposed. Results Our revealed about 80% surveyed sunscreens contained variety unregulated claims being marketing with friendly’ most frequently term. Predominantly, four are absence banned octinoxate. Analysis safe threshold concentrations marine water retrieved from existing REACH registration dossiers could currently also safeguard Conclusion There substantial discrepancy treatments versus politics well market, which not justified. risk-based approach equal consideration recommended future measures clear definition regulation terminology.

New trends on personalized sunscreens

Photodermatology Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 40(3)

Published: April 14, 2024

Abstract Background/Purpose Nowadays, there are emerging trends in customized and personalized photoprotection, focusing on the innovative approaches to enhance sun protection efficacy tailored individual needs. Methods We conducted an electronic search of following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, Skin Group Specialised Register, TESEO. Specific terms related photoprotection variables age, genetic predisposition, skin phototype, photodermatosis, physiological conditions such as pregnancy, well lifestyle habits were used. Results/Conclusion The article highlights challenges opportunities adopting strategies, aiming promote health prevent harmful effects UV radiation era precision medicine.

Challenges in Current Coral Reef Protection – Possible Impacts of UV Filters Used in Sunscreens, a Critical Review

Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 8

Published: April 14, 2021

Coral reefs are highly endangered ecosystems. The identification and quantification of potential stress factors essential to protect them. UV filters from sunscreens that introduced coral reef areas considered as one these stressors their impact on corals needs be further investigated. Even though functionally similar, structural features very diverse. Their limnic organisms have also been shown variable ranging no or low high toxicity. It is therefore expected effect differs significantly each compound has evaluated individually. demand for conclusive benchmarks guidelines policy makers the public over past years shows necessity an objective literature review effects various scleractinian corals. Here, we present literature, summarize data different discuss approaches, advantages limitations studies. However, methods used in latter studies vary greatly. They differ many aspects such species life stage used, field laboratory with exposure times hours weeks. Some include analytics measure actual test concentration, others only provide nominal concentrations. lack standardized renders comparisons between futile. Additionally, most investigated a single few quality. Reliable thresholds impossible draw basis currently available Nevertheless, certain repeatedly showed comparable toxicity both freshwater marine tested. Yet, existing differences results tests emphasize need testing method those established other aquatic order allow more assessment. In this review, describe what scientifically sound proposal should obtain reliable reproducible data, which ultimately result internationally organized ring trial. Such would enable validation related filters, but types compounds known reefs, thus helping identify significant enabling decisions.
