Abstract

To improve the efficacy and safety of sunscreen products, UV filters and efficient photostable UVA and broadband UVB/UVA filters have been developed. Other new technologies, including a nonabsorbing material to boost SPF, coating/modifications of inorganic sunscreen, stabilizing avobenzone by photostabilizers, encapsulation of UV absorbers, and microfine organic particles also may improve efficacy and safety of sun protective products. In the near future, new sunscreen products with even better in efficacy and safety should become available all over the world.
