Zinc and titanium oxides: promising UV-absorbers but what influence do they have on the intact skin?

LANSDOWN, A.B.G., TAYLOR, A.·1997·International Journal of Cosmetic Science

Abstract

Suspensions (20%) of microfine and ACS grade zinc oxide, or 20% titanium oxide in water, castor oil or polyethylene glycol were applied topically to rabbit skin over 4 h (1 day) or 2 h daily (3 days). Skin sites were analysed for metal uptake. Percutaneous absorption of the oxides was probably low, most remaining on the skin surface. Uptake patterns were influenced by the vehicles used. Appreciably more microfine zinc oxide was taken up by the skin in subacute studies. Local changes in trace metal concentration were construed as evidence of percutaneous absorption of zinc and titanium oxides. Further studies are indicated to validate the significance of these preliminary observations. On a applique superficiellement a de la peau de lapin des suspensions a 20% d'oxyde de zinc de qualite microfine ou ACS, ou a 20% d'oxyde de titane dans l'eau, l'huile de castor ou le polyethylene glycol, durant 4 heures (1 jour) ou 2 heures par jour (3 jours). On a analyse l'absorption de metal par la peau. L'absorption transcutanee des oxydes est probablement faible, la majeure partie restant en surface. Le deroulement de l'absorption est influence par le vecteur utilise. On constate que notablement plus d'oxyde de zinc microfin est absorbe par la peau dans les etudes subaigues. Les modifications locales dans la concentration des traces de metal ont ete interpretees comme des preuves d'absorption transcutanee d'oxydes de zinc et de titane. Des etudes ulterieures sont necessaires pour valider la signification de ces observations preliminaires.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A large number of in vitro and in vivo studies using murine, porcine, or human skin have shown that nano-sized TiO2 and ZnO remain at the stratum corneum level.

    “However, a large number of in vitro and in vivo studies using murine, porcine, or human skin have shown that the nano-sized TiO2 and ZnO remain at the stratum corneum level (56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65).”
  • There is no increased level of penetration of nano-sized TiO2 and ZnO when compared to macro-sized counterparts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
