All UV filters have been extensively tested to ensure they are inherently safe for topical application. However, certain sensitive individuals may experience allergic reactions to specific types of UV filters.
Modern sunscreen formulations must meet specific UVA protection standards. However, what is often overlooked is that UVA protection also contributes to the overall SPF rating. Influence on Skin Feel
SPF effectiveness depends on the wavelength of the absorbance maximum, the magnitude of the absorbance, and the breadth of the absorbance spectrum.
Including water-based UV filters alongside oil-based ones can significantly enhance SPF. However, this combination can also make it more challenging to achieve water resistance.
Inorganic filters and organic particulates can cause whitening on the skin when used at high concentrations. While this is generally undesirable, it can be beneficial in certain applications, such as baby sun care.
Some organic UV filters degrade upon UV exposure, reducing their effectiveness. However, other filters can help stabilize these "photo-labile" filters, preventing or minimizing degradation.
Different UV filters affect the skin feel in various ways. For example, some liquid UV filters may feel "sticky" or "heavy" on the skin, while water-soluble filters can provide a drier and lighter sensation.
