The relationship between chronic and excessive sun exposure and photoaging and skin cancer is well established on the scientific literature. Furthermore, the relationship between environmental pollution and respiratory, cardiovascular and cancer diseases has also been widely studied. There are studies that indicate that some environmental pollutants absorb UV radiation and are considered …
The incidence of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika and Chikungunya fever has increased in the last years. The insect repellents (IRs), especially DEET and icaridin, are recommended to prevent these diseases transmission. IRs are regulated as cosmetic products in Brazil, although they are biocides in Europe and pesticides in USA. They are considered safe to use; however, their u…
Contact allergies are considered complex diseases reaching 15-20 % of the population at least once in lifetime, and the number of cases has increased each day. Some cosmetic ingredients represent higher risk for development of contact allergies, including fragrances, preservatives and hair dyes. Furthermore natural compounds and UV-filters also represent an increasing risk for developing …

Exposure to environmental pollution and UV radiation is associated to human skin damage, including changes in the microbiota, dermatitis, and other chronic conditions such as allergies, psoriasis, and eczema. Previous studies by our research group have demonstrated the photoprotective potential of compounds obtained from the cultivation of the endophytic fungus Cladosporium halotolerans f…
Ultraviolet radiation (UV) harms skin health and is directly related to premature aging and carcinogenesis. The daily use of sunscreens is recommended to prevent these effects. Some sunscreens are associated with environmental impacts, such as coral bleaching, making it necessary to search for new substances that can act to protect against radiation without causing damage to the environme…
Dermatitis are chronic inflammatory skin diseases that affect the skin. Seborrheic Dermatitis affects areas rich in sebaceous glands, causing erythema and desquamation and is related to yeasts of the Malassezia genus. Under physiological conditions, these yeasts are not pathogenic, however, when under pathological conditions, they express virulence factors such as proteases, lipases and f…
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can lead to inflammatory processes, DNA damage, premature aging and skin carcinogenesis. The use of sunscreens avoid the deleterious effects of UV radiation, however, some conventional compounds with photoprotective activity suffer interactions, instability, which can lead to allergenic reactions in contact with radiation. Due to the high incidence of UV radiati…
Currently, it is possible to observe that the general population has sought a better quality of life. Therefore, the concern with the use of cosmetics that prevent skin cancer has also been a constant - because in Brazil, despite the high daily rates of exposure to the sun, few people use protection measures, such as clothes, accessories, or sunscreens. Even knowing that skin cancer is di…
Nowadays, few sunscreens are effective against UVA radiation and have a broad absorption spectrum. In addition, most of those that are available on the market have one or more drawbacks to be considered as in the case of oxybenzone, which is an example of a UV filter in which studies have shown its collaboration in corals bleaching and interfering with other types of marine life. Thus, th…

It is well known that the regular application of sunscreens is the most effective approach to prevent the harmful effects of UV radiation, such as sunburn, immunosuppression, photoaging, DNA damage and cancer. In addition, there has recently been a tendency to use natural compounds, such as polyphenols, in order to improve the potential of sunscreens to prevent UV-induced damages. Sunscre…
Contact dermatitis are considered complexes diseases and there is an estimative that they reaches about 15-20% of general population. Among cosmetic ingredients, UV-filters have been considered an emergent risk in skin allergy development and antioxidants, such as vitamin A can promote skin irritation. Most of tests used to assess skin sensitization still uses experimental animals, as LLN…
