Improving sun cream protection
Researchers from the University of Bath's Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology have created an innovative ingredient which when applied to sun creams can act as a UVA filter and provide fuller protection against skin damage.
While many sun creams provide good protection against the sun’s UVB rays, the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn, they provide less protection against more prevalent UVA rays. Scientists believe this may be one of the reasons why skin cancer incidence rates are increasing worldwide. The scientists in Bath have previously shown that when exposed to the UVA component of sunlight, the skin releases iron and produces free radicals which damage the skin cells by interacting with fat, protein and DNA of the cells. The release of free iron promotes the formation of additional, harmful free radicals that increase the damage caused and has been shown to play a key role in skin ageing and the onset of skin cancer. The new compounds are light activated when exposed to relevant doses of UVA, and unique in how they release antioxidants to neutralise free radicals whilst at the same time capturing excess iron in the skin.
Earlier this year this work benefited from a grant provided by Garnier and the British Skin Foundation. Hermione Lawson, from the British Skin Foundation, commented: “We are very excited to play a part in this pioneering research that could lead to a new generation of sunscreens. It is essential this kind of scientific research continues to be funded so that we can further our understanding of the complex relationship between UV rays and the development of skin cancer.”
