摘要
ObjectiveSunscreens are commonly used to protect the body from damage caused by UV light. Some components of organic sunscreens have been shown to pass through the skin during wear which could raise toxicity concerns for these compounds. This study explores the potential for oils and fruit and vegetable juices to be substitutes for these compounds. MethodsThe absorptivity of various oils (canola oil, citronella oil, coconut oil, olive oil, soya bean oil, vitamin E, as well as aloe vera) and fruit and vegetable juices (acerola, beet, grape, orange carrot, purple carrot and raspberry) was measured in vitro. The mean absorptivity was compared with FDA-approved UV absorbers to gauge the potential of the natural products. The most promising candidates were incorporated into formulations, and the UV transmittance of a 20-m-thick film of the formulation was measured. The formulations were also imaged by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. ResultsThe absorptivity of oils was at least two orders of magnitude lower compared to the commercial UV blockers. The fruit juice powders were more effective at UV blocking but still showed an order of magnitude lower absorptivity compared to commercial UV blockers. ConclusionThe UV blocking from most natural oils is insufficient to obtain a significant UV protection. Formulations containing 50wt% purple carrot showed good UV-blocking capabilities and represent a promising ingredient for sunscreen and cosmetic applications. Resume ObjectifLes ecrans solaires sont couramment utilises pour proteger le corps contre les dommages causes par la lumiere UV. Il a ete demontre que certains composants de filtres solaires organiques peuvent passer a travers la peau lors de l'application ce qui pourrait soulever des problemes de toxicite de ces composes. Cette etude explore le potentiel pour les huiles et les fruits et jus de legumes comme des substituts pour ces composes. MethodesLa capacite d'absorption de differentes huiles (huile de canola, l'huile de citronnelle, huile de coco, huile d'olive, huile de soja, la vitamine E, ainsi que l'aloe vera) et les fruits et jus de legumes (acerola, betterave, raisin, orange carotte, carotte pourpre, et framboise) a ete mesuree in vitro. La capacite d'absorption moyenne a ete comparee a des absorbeurs UV approuves par la FDA pour evaluer le potentiel des produits naturels. Les candidats les plus prometteurs ont ete incorpores dans les formulations et le facteur de transmission UV du film de 20 m d'epaisseur de la formulation a ete mesure. Les formulations ont egalement ete observees par microscopie optique et microscopie electronique a balayage. ResultatsLa capacite d'absorption des huiles etait au moins deux ordres de grandeur plus faible par rapport aux bloqueurs d'UV commerciaux. Les poudres de jus de fruits etaient plus efficaces pour le blocage des UV, mais encore ont montre une capacite d'absorption un ordre de grandeur plus faible par rapport a bloqueurs d'UV commerciaux. ConclusionLe blocage UV de la plupart des huiles naturelles est insuffisante pour obtenir une protection significative UV. Les formulations contenant 50% en poids de carotte violette ont montre une bonne capacite de blocage UV et representent un ingredient prometteur pour la creme solaire et des applications cosmetiques.
