Sun protection materials have been one of the major concerns in pharmaceutical in-dustry since almost one century ago. Various materials have been found to have such an effect but there are still many unknown substances that have not been discovered. Objective : To introduce a novel mineral-based sun lotion with considerable UV absorption properties compared to commercially available sunscreens.
UV absorption properties of transparent plas-tic sheets covered by a uniform cream layer of different mineral-based sun lotions and a commercially available sun lotion were tested.
Sun lotions containing specific proportion of bentonite and zeolite minerals were capable of absorbing the highest level of UV light com-pared to that of the commercially available sun lotion.
Mineral-based sun lotions can be considered as cost effective alternatives for current commercial sunscreens.
自近一个世纪前以来,防晒材料一直是制药行业的主要关注点之一。人们已经发现各种材料具有这种效果,但仍有许多未知物质尚未被发现。目的:介绍一种新型的基于矿物的防晒霜,与市售防晒霜相比,它具有相当可观的紫外线吸收特性。
测试了覆盖有不同矿物基防晒霜和市售防晒霜均匀乳膏层的透明塑料片的紫外线吸收特性。
与市售防晒霜相比,含有特定比例膨润土和沸石矿物的防晒霜能够吸收最高水平的紫外线。
基于矿物的防晒霜可被视为当前商业防晒霜的经济有效替代品。
