Use of Flavonoids and Cinnamates, the Main Photoprotectors with Natural Origin

Advances in Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Many pathological problems are initiated by ultraviolet radiation (UVR), such as skin cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. The UVA (320–400 nm) and UVB (290–320 nm) wavelengths may cause effects such as photoaging, DNA damage, and a series of cellular alterations.
