Análisis del grado de protección solar disponible en el mercado ecuatoriano.

Abstract

Abstract:Sunscreens are pharmaceutical preparations whose function is to absorb, reflect and disperse the ultraviolet radiation causing degenerative damage to the skin. The objective of the present investigation is to compare the nine brands of sunscreens observing their behavior by means of the UV-Vis spectrophotometer that shows how the light emitted in each sample is filtered and thus observe the best protector, in the same way it was possible to observe the variation of color on the skin exposed and not exposed to the sun of five volunteers. As results, we highlight that broad-spectrum sunscreens are more resistant to degradation whose results coincide with the in vivo method, demonstrating their photo-protection efficacy.
