Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been demonstrated to cause skin disorders, including sunburn and relative symptoms of prolonged exposure. It has been reported that sunscreens have beneficial effects in reducing the incidence of skin disorders (sunburn, skin aging, and immunosuppression) through their ability to absorb, reflect, and scatter UV. Many commercial products have recently been manufactured from not only usual organic and inorganic UV filters, but also hybrid and botanical ingredients using typical formulations (emulsion, gel, aerosol, and stick). Particularly, these products have been supplemented with several preeminent properties to protect against the negative effects of not only UVB, but also UVA. However, the use of sunscreen has faced many challenges, including inducing photoallergic dermatitis, environment pollution, and deficiency of vitamin D production. Therefore, consumers should efficiently apply suitable products to improve sun protection. as well as to avoid the side effects of sunscreen.

  • Sunscreens can induce side effects such as irritation, allergy and phototoxic reactions, affect the synthesis of vitamin D, generate reactive oxygen species and act as photosensitizers.

    “Sunscreens can induce side effects such as irritation, allergy and phototoxic reactions, affect the synthesis of vitamin D, generate reactive oxygen species and act as photosensitizers (DiNardo and Downs 2018;Ngoc et al. 2019;Neale et al. 2019;Passeron et al. 2019;Narla and Lim 2020;Suh et al. 2020).”

    From Skin protection from solar ultraviolet radiation using natural compounds: a review (2024) · cites this paper as Ngoc et al. 2019

    Section 2.5 reports contact sensitivity, photoallergic dermatitis, and a possible reduction in vitamin D production from sunscreen use, while noting conflicting findings on vitamin D. Section 2.2 says sunscreen nanoparticles can produce reactive oxygen species. The review does not establish phototoxic reactions or that sunscreens act as photosensitizers; the latter term appears in a reference title. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
