Described as the
germicidal UV
because of its
ability to kill single-
cell organisms.
Far-UV and UVC
were prevented
from reaching the
Earth's surface by
the formation of
the ozone layer.
Since UVC
radiation is both
cytotoxic and
capable of
producing severe
sunburn at very
low exposure
levels,
evidence of ozone
depletion will need
to be viewed as
very serious.

Primary initiator
of sunburn,
contributing
approximately
85% of summer
sunburn

Responsible for the
initiation of certain skin
cancers, many
photodermatoses,
premature skin ageing
and for the generation
of the photoprotective
pigment known as
melanin which gives
our skin its suntanned
appearance.
UVB is also
responsible for
synthesis of
vitamin D in the
skin.

Identified as UV-
'A' for ageing.
Contributes to
15% of sun burn

Many
photodermatological
skin conditions such
as polymorphic light
eruption (PLE), solar
urticaria and chronic
actinic dermatitis
(CAD), occur as a
result of exposure to
UVA light.

SUN-SCREEN

19.  There are some common myths and misconceptions surrounding
sunscreens that people should be aware of before buying their
next bottle.
 Myth: “ I have darker skin, So I don’t need to worry.”
FALSE
 Myth: “ But I need sun to get enough Vitamin D.”
FALSE
 Myth: “You don't need to protect or cover your skin on cloudy
days.”
FALSE
LET’S SEE WHAT YOU KNOW (OR DON’T)

20. The sun protection factor (SPF)
• It is a rating system developed by the FDA ,
“to describe the level of sun protection provided by a sunscreen.”
• Since SPF measures sunburn it is predominantly, a measure of UVB
protection.
• The FDA has published the COLIPA SPF Test Method(European
Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association).
• SPF = the dose of UVR required to produce 1 minimal erythema dose
(MED) on protected skin after application of 2 mg/cm2 of product
divided by the UVR to produce 1 MED on unprotected skin.
• The MED is defined as the minimum quantity of radiant energy of
specific wavelength or range of wavelengths which produces the first
unambiguous reddening of human skin.

21. SPF =
𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆 𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒂 (𝑴𝑬𝑫) 𝒐𝒏 𝒖𝒏𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏
𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆 𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒂(𝑴𝑬𝑫) 𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏
• If your skin would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, applying
an SPF 15 sunscreen would allow you to stay in the sun without
burning for approximately 150 minutes (a factor of 15 times longer).
• The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) scale is not linear:
• SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
• SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
• SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
• SPF 15 (93% protection) allows 7 out of 100 photons through.
• SPF 30 (97% protection) allows 3 out of 100 photons through.

23. PA +++
 If a product’s PPD = 2 to
4, PA = PA+
 If a product’s PPD = 4 to
8, PA = PA++
 If a product’s PPD = 8 to
16, PA = PA+++
 If a product’s PPD = 16
or higher, PA = PA++++
• PA grading system was established in
Japan.
• Measures level of protection from UVA
rays.
• Adapted from the Persistent Pigment
Darkening (PPD) method.
• This test uses UVA radiation to cause a
persistent darkening—tanning—of the
skin.
• Every test subject is analyzed on how long
it takes for their skin to tan. Researchers
then compare the results between
unprotected and protected skin.

24. Skin types and the choice of sun product
Individuals may be classified into one of six skin types, as described
by Fitzpatrick , according to the way their skin behaves on exposure to
UV radiation:
I Always burns easily; never tans
II Burns easily; tans minimally
III Burns moderately; tans gradually
IV Burns minimally; tans easily
V Rarely burns; tans profusely
VI Never burns; deeply pigmented
The first priority of a sun product is to protect the skin from erythemal
radiation and hence sunburn. This can be achieved by protecting
primarily against UVB wavelengths.

25. • As stated, the function of
sunscreen products is to
absorb/scatter/reflect
solar UV, thereby reducing
the dose of such harmful
radiation to the skin.
• This is accomplished
through the use of a
combination of UV filters
and an appropriate film-
forming vehicle.
Function Of Sun-Screen

26. • UV filters in sunscreen are responsible for the
absorption/reflection/scattering of solar UV.
• To achieve the SPF and breadth of UV protection, a combination of
UV filters is selected.
• For e.g., to achieve SPF 15 filters must absorb wavelengths
from290–340 nm.
• To absorb long wavelength UVA-I (340–400 nm) avobenzone/zinc
oxide or both is used.
• SPF of product increase, UV Filters Concentration also increase.
Active Ingredients: UV Filters

27. 27

28. Types :
Organic
UV filters
• Selected for their UVR-
absorbing capacities.
Particles
(Physical
Blockers)
• Inorganic (metal oxides)
• Organic (microfine
polymeric molecules)

29. † Polar oils,
• e.g., octinoxate, octisalate, homosalate, and octocrylene
† Oil soluble crystalline solids,
• e.g., avobenzone, and the benzophenones
† Water soluble salts,
• e.g., ensulizole
† Insoluble powders/particulates,
• e.g., zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
From a formulation perspective, the UV filters can be
categorized into one of four groups :

30. 1. UVB
• PABA and Its Derivatives :
• first chemical sunscreen
• Ester derivatives of PABA, mainly octyl dimetyl PABA or
padimate O, are more popular.
• Amyl dimethyl PABA and glyceryl PABA (glyceryl
aminobenzoate) are no longer used.
• Padimate O or octyl dimethyl PABA is a most potent UV
absorber in the mid-UVB range
INDIVIDUAL UV FILTERS

31. • Next most potent UVB absorbers allowed by the FDA monograph.
• Largely replaced PABA derivatives.
• Octinoxate or octyl methoxycinnamate is the most frequently used
sunscreen ingredient.
• Octyl or ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate less potent and requires
additional UVB absorbers to achieve higher SPF levels in a final
product.
• Cinoxate (ethoxy-ethyl-p-methoxycinnamate) is less widely used.
• Isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate (EU no. 14) is available in Europe.
Cinnamates

32. • Salicylates are weaker UVB absorbers.
• Replaced by the more efficient PABA and cinnamate derivatives.
• With the trend to higher SPFs, more octisalate or octyl salicylate
(ethylhexyl salicylate) is being used followed by homosalate or
homomenthyl salicylate.
• Both materials have the ability to solubilize oxybenzone and
avobenzone.
Salicylates

33. • Not approved by the FDA for use in the United States.
• There are six camphor derivatives approved in Europe, and 4-
methylbenzylidene camphor (EU no. 18) is the most widely used
one.
• Octocrylene 2-Ethylhexyl-2-cyano-3,3 diphenyl acrylate or
octocrylene is chemically related to cinnamates.
• It can be used to boost SPF and improve water resistance in a
given formulation. Octocrylene is photostable and can improve the
photostability of other sunscreens.
Camphor Derivatives

34. • Benzophenones :
• Although oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 absorbs most efficiently
in the UVB range, absorption extends well into the UVA II range.
• It is used primarily as a UVA absorber, but boosts SPF values in
combination with other UVB absorbers.
• Oxybenzone is supplied as a solid material and has poor solubility
and a relatively low extinction coefficient.
• Sulisobenzone or benzophenone-4 is water soluble, somewhat
unstable, and used with less frequency.
UVA

35. • Opaque formulations reflecting or scattering UVR
• TiO2 and ZnO are chemically inert and protect through the full
spectrum of UVR.
• TiO2 and ZnO offer the best available protection in the UVA II range.
• Physical blockers also have the significant advantage of lowered
skin irritancy potential.
Physical Blockers

36. • ZnO was added as an active sunscreen agent for the FDA OTC
sunscreen monograph with avobenzone.
• Reduced to a particle size of less than 200 nm, light scattering is
minimized and the particles appear transparent in thin films.
• ZnO has a refractive index of 1.9, as opposed to 2.6 for TiO2, and
therefore causes less whitening than TiO2.
• ZnO attenuates UVR more effectively in the UVA I range with a peak
at 360 nm. Microfine TiO2 at an equal concentration offers
somewhat more protection in the UVB range.
Zinc Oxide

37. • Water resistance can be achieved in a number of ways. Oil-based
formulations or stick formulations have inbuilt water repellency
due to their nonaqueous nature.
• Water-in-oil emulsions are usually inherently water-resistant.
• PABA-type sun filters are more resistant to wash-off than other
organic sunscreens.
• Excellent waterproofing agents:-
• dimethicone 350
• cyclomethicone
• trimethylsiloxysilicate

47. • Protection Against UVB: the Sun Protection Factor
• UVA protection of a sunscreen:
• in vivo measurement of afforded protection with the persistent pigment
darkening method
• in vitro absorbance measurements
• in vitro determination of the critical wavelength
• in vitro determination of a UVA protection factor (UVAPF)
The requirements differ slightly between different regulatory
authorities.
The FDA has proposed a two-step testing [in vivo persistent pigment
darkening testing and in vitro the ratio of long-wavelength UVA
absorbance (UVA I) to the total UVR absorbance (UVB + UVA)] .
EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY CLAIM – as
per Regulatory Claims

48. The Colipa (the European cosmetic, toiletry and perfumery
association) has recently issued a detailed guideline on the in vitro
determination of the UVAPF of sunscreen products.
EU and FDA has proposed Colipa guidelines
FDA has also published Guidance for Industry Labeling and

50. • A product is claimed to be “WR” if it retains the same category
description after 40 minutes of water immersion (time periods separated
by a 20-minute rest period without toweling).
• It may be claimed “very WR” if this is the case after four immersion
periods of 20 minutes each (80 minutes).
• The claim “waterproof” is no longer allowed. Products carrying the
claims WR or very WR may also claim to be “sweat resistant” because
the FDA concluded that the immersion test is a more severe test than a
sweating test.
• It is now proposed that the time spent in water (40 or 80 minutes) would
be added on the product label to ensure frequent reapplication.

53. • Acne is one of the most common skin diseases, there are about
17,000,000 Americans affected by acne.
• According to the data in US research, close to 100% of people
between the ages of 12 to 17 have acne. After the age of 15,
around 40% of adolescents have acne severe enough to require
treatment by a physician.
• Acne is a skin condition characterized by whiteheads, blackheads, and
inflamed red pimples or "zits."
• One of the most common skin diseases presenting to family physicians
• Considerable psychological impact on the quality of life
• No cure, but the disease can be controlled through medications.

54. • Acne is a self-limited disorder
primarily of teenagers & young
adults.
• Acne is a disease of
pilosebaceous follicles.
• 4 factors are involved:
• Retention hyperkeratosis
• Increased Sebum production
• Propionbacterium acnes within
the follicle
• Inflammation

55. External Factors that contribute to Acne….
• Oils, greases, dyes in hair products
• Detergents, soaps, astringents
• Occlusive clothing: turtlenecks
• Environmental Factors: Humidity & Heavy exercise.
• Psychological stress
• Diet is controversial
Acne vulgaris typically affects those areas of the body that have the greatest number of sebaceous glands:
• the face neck
• Chest
• upper back
• upper arms

56.  In addition to the typical lesions of acne vulgaris, scarring and
hyperpigmentation can also occur.
 Hyperpigmentation is most common in patients with dark complexions
 Certain drugs like steroids, testosterone, and estrogen can cause acne
 High levels of Humidity and sweating
Conti…

57. Causes…..
• Acne develops from the following four factors:
• (1) follicular epidermal hyperproliferation with subsequent plugging of
the follicle,
• (2) excess sebum production,
• (3) the presence and activity of the commensal bacteria Cutibacterium
acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes)
• (4) inflammation.
• In addition, genetics is also a key factor in the pathophysiology of acne.

58. Androgens & Acne
Androgens (male hormones) are present in females as well as males,
but in higher amounts in males.
Androgens cause the sebaceous (oil) glands of the skin to produce
more sebum (oil), excess androgens will cause excess sebum
production.
If excess production of sebum plugs the opening of the follicles, it may
increase the amount of bacteria which cause inflammatory acne.
Despite having normal level of androgen, if the sebaceous glands are
over-sensitive to androgens, excess sebum is thus produced, acne
results.

59. • Blackheads (plugged with dark sebum)
• Crusting of skin
• Cysts
• Inflamation around the skin
• Puss
• Scarring on skin
• Whiteheads (pore closed~comedo)
Signs and Symptoms

60. Types of Acne
Whitehead:
a closed
comedo is a
sebaceous
follicle
plugged with
sebum.
Its
appearance
is that of skin-
colored or
slightly
inflamed
“bump”
in the skin.
Blackhead:
a comedo
is open. The surface of
the plug in the
follicle has
blackish
appearance.

61. Papules Pustules
Types of Acne
Papules:
a small, solid
lesion slightly
elevated above
the surface of
the skin. It is
caused by
localized
cellular
reaction to the
process of
acne.
Pustules:
a dome-shaped,
fragile lesion
containing pus
that typically
consists of
mixture of
white blood
cells, dead
skin cells and
bacteria.

62. Nodules Cysts
Types of Acne
Nodule:
is characterized by
inflammation,
extends
into deeper layers
of the skin and
may cause tissue
destruction that
results in scarring.
It may be very
painful.
Cyst:
It may be
severely
inflamed,
extends into
deeper layers
of the skin,
may be very
painful, and
can result in

65. Purposes of Acne Treatment
• Decrease sebum production
• Reduce P. acnes (bacteria)
• Reduce keratinization
• Eliminate inflammation
A dermatologist may combine two or more treatment options to create
effective therapy and prevent new lesions from forming.

66. External keratolytics may reduce keratinization. Treatment
such as:
• Salicylic acid
• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA)
• Benzoyl peroxide (cannot eliminate inflammation)
• Retinoids
Anti-inflammatory drugs to inhibit P. acnes (bacteria)
Treatment for Mild Acne – Topical

67. The Common rationale of some of the treatment method
1. Use anti-androgen (e.g. oral contraceptive pills) to regulate
androgen, to prevent excess sebum production. This method is
only suitable for women.
2. Use anti-biotic to curb the growth of bacteria.
3. Use retinoids, derivative of vitamin A (e.g. isotretinoin) to reduce
sebum production and keratinization. Patients may experience side
effects.
Beside the above treatment methods, other non-medical
treatment may be introduced, for example to keep the
skin clean by using skincare products correctly.
Treatment for Severe Acne

68. • Use anti-biotic, for example tetracycline,
erythromycin or co-trimoxazole etc. to curb
the growth of bacteria and reduce
inflammation.
• Use with care and prolonged treatment
may be necessary to achieve the desire
results.
Treatment for Severe Acne – Oral
Anti-biotic

69. • To reduce sebum production and help
skin cells inside follicles to return to
normal. Effective but takes 4-5 months
before beginning to see an
improvement.
• Early use will cause dryness and
shedding of skin, and even cracking
around the mouth.
• Might cause foetal abnormality, hence
not suitable for pregnant women or
women planning to have babies.
• Studies show it might cause suicidal
attempt. Physician follow-up is
required.
Treatment for Severe Acne –
Oral Retinoids (isotretinoin)

70. • Androgens stimulate sebum production.
To tackle of root cause of acne, women
should find ways to tackle androgens.
• Oral contraceptives works by regulating
the hormones (estrogen, progestogen
and androgen), blocking the effect of
androgen on the skin, and thus reducing
sebum production.
• It is effective in acne treatment and
sebum control among women.
