Photostability Leads the Way: Formulating Safer Sunscreens
The need to prevent skin from UV damage is well-understood but the most effective way to achieve this is not. Here, a novel photostabilizer is presented in a test pump sunscreen spray formula as part of a total photoprotection strategy.

Unexpected Paths to Sunscreens
Teleportation was once science fiction. Today's it's somewhat of a reality, if you consider how
Facebook Live, Facetime, Skype,
etc., transport our
likenesses
through time and space. I sense this indirect path may be the future to sunscreens.

Latin Americans Need Better Sunscreens
Consumers need extra photoprotection in Latin America. Why? Marcelo de Paula Corrêa explains.
SPF/Sun
Sunscreen Saga Continues, Thanks to EWG
The FDA and PCPC came to the industry's defense this week, when the Environmental Working Group called out sunscreen makers for adding anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients to products, to allegedly "mask" signs of sunburn and falsify SPF ratings.

Wet Skin Factor for Sunscreens: An In vitro Method, Part II
Sunscreens designed for application to wet skin are popular in part due to convenience, skipping the drying step completely. In relation, these authors propose a new in vitro test to compare the wet skin factor of sun care products. Here, 20 products were tested and compared according to several conditions in order to define the best parameters for the method.

Photostability Test for Additional Sunscreen Claims, Part III: New Claim
Proposed here is an in vitro method, based on UV transmission measurements at two irradiation doses, to test and rank sunscreens based on their photostabilities. This approach was used to assess some 107 sunscreens and shows how, by strictly controlling key parameters, comparisons between the photostabilities of products can be made, with potential for new label claims.

Photostability Test for Additional Sunscreen Claims, Part I: Protocol Setup
Proposed here is an in vitro method, based on UV transmission measurements at two irradiation doses, to test and rank sunscreens based on their photostabilities. This approach was used to assess some 107 sunscreens and shows how, by strictly controlling key parameters, comparisons between the photostabilities of products can be made, with potential for new label claims.

Sandblasting to Improve the Reproducibility of In vitro Sunscreen Evaluation
SPF test results from substrates treated using a traditional sandblasting technique are compared with those from substrates treated using a new process. Based on the topographic control of 10 batches and 34 sunscreen evaluations, the authors concluded the new process had better topographic reproducibility, consequently improving the SPF repeatability and reproducibility in vitro.
