Although there are standard methods for evaluating photoprotection (UVA and UVB), the damage chemoprevention mechanisms caused by ultraviolet radiation are not considered in these methods. Urocanic acid is a chromophore found in the skin and has been identified as an important immunosuppression mediator and carcinogenesis through its photoisomerization the trans form to the cis form induc…
Skin cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in the world, and its main cause is excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun. Oxidative stress, one of the responsible factors for the development of carcinomas, is also associated with frequent exposure to UV radiation. The use of photoprotective formulations are the most effective measures to protect against the malign…
Considering especially the lips, chronicle exposition to UV radiation does not trigger the same skin defense mechanisms, such as tanning and stratum corneum hypertrophy. Therefore, the use of sunscreen lip balms is extremely important. The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences (University of São Paulo) Cosmetology Group has been developing promising researches and scientific partnerships rel…

Social distancing has led to an increase in new concerns about health, appearance, age and beauty, inspiring consumers to increase the demand and daily use of sustainable cosmetics. In addition to the food sector, the movement towards sustainable products with organic, natural and vegan appeal is also reaching a growing niche in the cosmetic industry. Microalgae are unicellular and photos…
The knowledge of the harmful effects that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation promotes on the skin has led to the population's awareness of the routine use of sunscreens, as well as the advancement of scientific research to improve the efficacy and safety of these formulations. Sunscreens can reflect and/or absorb UV radiation, however, they do not demonstrate relevant effectiveness ag…
Microalgae are eukaryotes, unicellular, and photosynthetic organisms, with high potential to produce lipids acids, pigments such as carotenoids and chlorophylls, as well as other metabolites capable to be applied in food and pharmaceutical industries and cosmetics. This project intend to evaluate the biotechnological potential of two microalgal species, Neochloris oleoabundans UTEX 1185 e…
The primary function of a sunscreen is to protect the skin using active compounds responsible for the absorption, reflection or scattering of solar ultraviolet radiation. Each solar filter is able to absorb only part of the UV radiation, therefore, to provide broad spectrum sunscreen efficacy, with good photostability, a formulation must contain an appropriate combination of two or more s…

Microalgae are eukaryotes, unicellular and photosynthetic microorganisms with great potential for the production of fatty acids, pigments such as carotenoids and chlorophyll, and other metabolites of interest in the food industry, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. There are few reports in the literature showing the use of microalgae in cosmetic preparations. Furthermore, safety information a…
Gelatina nanoparticles are used for the development of drugs and genes delivery systems as well as drug carriers to target specific sites in the body. There is no record in the literature of its use in topical vehicles, as cosmetic products. The purpose of this work is developing innovative rutin-entrapped gelatin nanostructures for use in sunscreens and assess its safety and clinical eff…
