Sunscreens and Other Products
Modulation of zinc levels and tissue properties: Essentia Biosystems discloses the modulation of zinc levels to improve tissue properties. Methods of altering the properties of tissues were explored by modifying the amount of zinc, which may be in the form of zinc ions, through the use of topical compositions containing one or more zinc-containing components such as salts and/or other zinc compounds or in complexes, particularly zinc acetate. By altering the zinc levels, researchers found they were able to increase or decrease fatty tissue, increase or decrease epidermal thickness, increase elastin content, and prevent or treat gum regression or atrophy.

Enhancing Sunscreen Efficacy for Realistic Application
The ability of a sunscreen to protect the skin from erythema is expressed on product labels as the sunburn protection factor (SPF)—i.e., the ratio of the minimum erythema dose (MED) with sunscreen to the MED without protection. Yet in reality, consumers do not apply the same mass/cm2 as is utilized in SPF testing, so maximal protection is not achieved.
