Download or read book Challenges in Sun Protection written by Christian Surber and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 20th century, tanned skin was associated with good health. However, people began to protect themselves against potential overexposure to avoid sunburns. Around 1945, the first sunscreen products became available. In the years to follow, a vast number of different sunscreen filters and frameworks regulating filter substances and preparations, and methods characterizing sunscreen products were developed. The perception regarding the tasks of sunscreen products changed several times – initially it was promoted as a lifestyle product, then as a skin cancer preventive means, and more recently also for anti-aging. Different purposes and the widespread use of these products have led to myriad studies and a wealth of information. In this volume, the editors present a current collection of information analyzing and discussing issues related to sunscreen products and their use. These include challenges regarding the ideal sunscreen product including filter selection and formulation issues, measurement methods, performance characterization, safety, and regulatory issues. Further papers address topics related to the use of sunscreen products in everyday life, in vulnerable cohorts and outdoor workers. Controversial topics such as environmental effects of sunscreen products and the risks and benefits of UV radiation in the context of skin cancer, vitamin D and cardiovascular and metabolic health are also covered.

Download or read book Sunscreen Photobiology Molecular Cellular and Physiological Aspects written by Francis P. Gasparro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sunscreens are universally recommended by dermatologists not only to prevent the immediate effects of overexposure to sunlight but also to prevent skin cancer. While the former goal is immediately evident, the latter remains an unproven hypothesis and is a topic of some controversy. Recent epidemiological studies suggesting a correlation between increased use of sunscreens over the past two decades and the rise in skin cancer have led to the question whether sunscreens applied to skin may be undergoing photoreactions, the effects of which are elaborated many years later. By addressing the key questions, this book advances the field of sunscreen photobiology and provides the reader with an unbiased perspective on this important field.

Download or read book Sunscreens written by Rajesh P. Rastogi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past few decades, the increased incidence of solar UV radiations (280-400 nm) and its harmful impacts, particularly on human skin have fueled worldwide concern to search for an effective UV sunscreen compound with the ability to provide maximum photoprotection. Several synthetic suncare products available in the international market may cause negative side effects that can't be overlooked. A number of biomolecules have been reported from different natural sources with great UV absorbing/screening functions. There is a need to explore the photoprotective role of these various natural UV sunscreening compounds so that they can find applications in UV-screening cosmetics for the benefit of human beings. The present book Sunscreens: Source, Formulations, Efficacy and Recommendations provide an overview of the current knowledge of the various sunscreening compounds along with their sources, formulations, and efficacy as well as recommendations with regard to the photoprotective function in response to intense solar radiations. This book describes the recent progress and fundamental backgrounds of various UV absorbing or sunscreening compounds derived from different sources. An effort has been made to provide substantial information on various natural sunscreening molecules and their potentials as an arsenal of effective sunscreen ingredients meant for adequate protection from harmful UV radiations. Different chapters of the book address various questions pertaining to the naturally sourced sunscreen from microorganisms to higher plants, ideal for the formulations of sun care and cosmeceutical products. Undoubtedly, the contents of the book would be highly useful for graduate/postgraduate students, teachers, biochemists, and researchers in the fields of cosmetic science, photobiology, medical microbiology, and metabolic engineers engaged in the formulations and development of broad spectrum natural sunscreens or anti-aging products.

Download or read book Sunscreens in Coastal Ecosystems written by Antonio Tovar-Sánchez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of the chemical analysis of UV filters in coastal waters and their impact on the marine environment. The sun care is today the most important sector within the cosmetics industry, with annual increases in sales. The main components of sunscreens, organic and inorganic UV filters, have been detected in many coastal regions, with the highest concentrations in coastal areas under high anthropogenic pressure. Moreover, these compounds have been found to be bioaccumulated in aquatic biota causing biological and toxicological responses; some organic UV filters act as endocrine disruptors in aquatic biota, affecting survival, behavior, growth, development and reproduction. On the other hand, inorganic UV filters, mainly based on nanoparticles, have been demonstrated to have various impacts on marine organisms, such as inducing oxidative stress in abalones, accumulating in microalgae, affecting the immune response in mussels, bleaching corals, and genotoxicity in fish, among others. All these effects of sunscreens on the marine environment highlight the need for more stringent and environmentally friendly regulations. This book covers the latest analytical methodologies used in assessing the impact of UV filters impact on marine waters, especially on marine biota, and also critiques the global regulation of UV filters and the environmental risk of using sunscreens. Featuring specific case studies of the environmental effects of sunscreens in the Mediterranean Sea and Hawaii, which highlight the importance of balancing human health with environmental health of coastal ecosystems, it will appeal not only to scientists and students from various disciplines (environmental chemistry, biology, ecology, biogeochemistry, fisheries and climate change among others), but also to environmental managers wanting to promote new restrictive regulations on the use of UV filters, and to professionals from the cosmetic industry interested in the development of eco-friendly sunscreens.
