DNA cleavage, photoinduced by benzophenone-based sunscreens.
(2003)The topical application of sunscreens is widely practised to protect healthy and photosensitive skins from the sun. The benzophenone-derived sunscreens, e.g. 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzophenone-5-sulphonic acid (or benzophenone-4) ... -
An investigation of the photostabilisation of sunscreen absorbers by plant polyphenols.
(2005)Commercial sunscreen products are used to protect the skin against hannful ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can induce skin cancer at high dosage. These products contain UV filters that can reflect, scatter or absorb UV ... -
A photochemical investigation of two suncreen absorbers in a polar and a non-polar medium.
(2002)Protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation is of increasing importance due to the depletion of stratospheric ozone, which shields the earth from harmful UVC rays (in the range 200-280 nm) and some UVB ... -
The potential of plant polyphenols as natural photostable sunscreen active ingredients.
(2022)Protection from the sun dates to prehistoric times as a measure against the deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Overexposure to this harmful UV radiation is a leading cause of pathological changes of ...
