Micron-sized Zinc Oxide Dispersion for Transparent High SPF Formula
By: Paul McCormick, PhD, Antaria Ltd.; Robert Flet…
Regulatory bodies require quantifiable, photostable UVA protection for sunscreens and while zinc oxide provides an effective option, historically, its white appearance on skin has limited its acceptance. Therefore, in the present article the authors explore a micron-sized zinc oxide dispersion technology to enable the formulation of transparent yet full spectrum sunscreen formulas.

Singlet Quenching Proves Faster is Better for Photostability
By: Craig Bonda and Anna Pavlovic, The HallStar Co…
The faster a photostabilizer works, the fewer opportunities for destructive chemical reactions. Here, the author describes a new photostabilizer, ethylhexyl methoxycrylene, which acts by quenching the singlet excited state of UV filters. The data shows how this material sets a new standard for the photostabilization of avobenzone, even in the presence of octyl methoxycinnamate.

Metabolism of Vitamin D in Skin: Benefits for Skin Care Applications
By: Françoise Arnold MMP Sarl; Michel Merci…
The skin innately possesses metabolic pathways and receptors to protect against external assaults. Here, one protective component, 7-dehydrocholesterol or provitamin D, naturally present in the skin, is described, which serves as the precursor for active metabolites that influence the formation and maintenance of barrier function, the activation of antimicrobial peptides, photoprotective activities, and protection against senescence.

Chitin Nanofibrils for Improved Photoprotection
By: Pierfrancesco Morganti, University of Naples I…
Chitin nanofibrils (CN) are capable of interacting with cosmetic actives by binding to the stratum corneum, thus influencing their thermodynamic activity. Here, the authors test various sunscreen samples and determine that the addition of CN provides an interesting boost to the photoprotective activity of sunscreens.

A Diester to Protect Hair from Color Fade and Sun Damage
By: Timothy Gao, PhD, Jung-Mei Tien, Abhijit Biday…
A new broad-spectrum UV filter to protect hair from color fading and integrity damage, quaternium-95 (and) propanediol, has been developed for rinse-off formulations. Shampoos and conditioners containing this material protected dyed hair against surface tryptophan degradation and tensile strength reduction.
