It is proposed that zeolite encapsulation can lead to a sunscreen composite ingredient, that is described as a supramolecular sunscreen, that will retain the excellent spectroscopic properties of OXB, while preventing contact between the skin and the active ingredient.

Protecting the Protectors: Reducing the Biological Toxicity of UV Sunscreens by Zeolite Encapsulation

This work demonstrates that the sunscreen-photoinduced inactivation of a model protein, horseradish peroxidase, is reduced by approximately a factor of three when the sunscreen is encaspsulated in zeolite sodium Y, providing evidence that using the technology ofZeolite encapsulation to prepare a supramolecular sunscreen that minimizes the skin contact of active ingredients may reduce the adverse effects of “naked” sunscreens on biological systems.

TiO_2-promoted mineralization of organic sunscreens in water suspension and sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles

The results indicate that in water suspension, mineralization is likely to occur on or near the TiO2 particle surface; when the organic sunscreens are segregated in the micelle core, reactive radicals, produced duringTiO2-promoted degradation of the micellar system, may participate in sunscreen degradation.

A Review of Sunscreen Safety and Efficacy

It is concluded that sunscreen ingredients or products do not pose a human health concern and the regular use of appropriate broad‐spectrum sunscreen products could have a significant and favorable impact on public health as part of an overall strategy to reduce UVR exposure.

Sunscreens, skin photobiology, and skin cancer: the need for UVA protection and evaluation of efficacy.

Oxybenzone oxidation following solar irradiation of skin: photoprotection versus antioxidant inactivation.

Although oxybenzone is an excellent broad spectrum UVA filter, its rapid oxidation followed by the inactivation of important antioxidant systems indicates that this substance may be rather harmful to the homeostasis of the epidermis.

Change of ultraviolet absorbance of sunscreens by exposure to solar-simulated radiation.

The analysis showed that the behavior of suncare products was not predictable from its individual ingredients, and photoinactivation of sunscreens appears to be an underestimated hazard to the skin, first, by formation of free radicals, second, by increased ultraviolet A transmission.
