There are numerous cosmetic ingredients that have been identified to have blue light protection benefits. The urge to learn more about blue light protection claims has led to several substantiation test methods that can be utilized by companies to prove product efficacy.
Part II of this article provides up-to-date information on cosmetic ingredients that can provide protection from blue light, and methods companies can use to substantiate blue light protection claims.
An Internet search was completed using the Google Scholar database and a cosmetic ingredient supplier database (UL Prospector) for ingredients and relevant literature.
Multiple ingredient categories, for example, algae-derived ingredients, UV filters, botanical extracts, antioxidants, and vitamins, are available on the market to fight against blue light-induced skin damage. There is not a formal standardized method to test for blue light protection; however, spectrophotometers, imaging devices, measuring oxidative stress, and visual evaluations are some of the methods being used today.
The number of ingredients launched for blue light protection and new methods developed to test products for blue light protection claims is expected to increase in the near future as we are learning more about the mechanism of damage that occurs in the skin upon blue light exposure.
有许多美容成分已被确定具有蓝光防护功效。人们渴望更多地了解蓝光防护声称,这促使了几种可以被公司用来证明产品功效的证实测试方法的出现。
本文第二部分提供了有关可提供蓝光防护的美容成分的最新信息,以及公司可用来证实蓝光防护声称的方法。
使用 Google Scholar 数据库和化妆品成分供应商数据库(UL Prospector)对成分和相关文献进行了互联网搜索。
目前市场上有多种成分类别,例如藻类衍生成分、紫外线滤光剂、植物提取物、抗氧化剂和维生素,可以对抗蓝光引起的皮肤损伤。目前还没有用于测试蓝光防护的标准化方法;但是,分光光度计、成像设备、测量氧化应激和视觉评估是目前正在使用的一些方法。
随着我们对蓝光暴露时皮肤损伤机制的了解不断增加,预计未来将推出更多用于蓝光防护的成分,并开发出更多测试产品蓝光防护声称的新方法。
