Resumo(s)
Sunscreens are cosmetic products for
convenient and safe delivery of solar filters. These are used
to prevent the skin damage caused by sunlight exposure.
Due to photo-instability and potential adverse effects of
some of these filters, novel application forms are
demanded. Lipid based colloidal carriers commonly
named as lipospheres provide the advantage of sufficient
protection of the solar filters, their delivery to upper skin
layer only, and controlled release. Being composed of
biocompatible and biodegradable materials similar to
those existing in the stratum corneum, they are generally
well tolerated. This review gives an overview of novel
approaches to sunscreen formulations.
