Sunshield: Advancing Self-Preserving Sun Care Cosmeceuticals with Multifunctional Ingredients

UV radiation causes sunburn and prolonged exposure signs. Sunscreens protect by absorbing, reflecting, and scattering UV rays. Advancements include non-traditional UV filters and botanical compounds. Effective sun protection is crucial. Microbiological protection is essential in cosmetics to prevent damage and infections. This study aimed to identify self-preserving preservative complexes for sun care products, comparing their efficacy to conventional preservatives.
