Formation of chlorinated breakdown products during degradation of sunscreen agent, 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate in the presence of sodium hypochlorite [PDF]
Gackowska, A., Przyby{\l}ek, M., Studzi\'nski, W. et al. Environ
Sci Pollut Res (2016) 23: 1886. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-015-5444-0, 2018 In this study, a new degradation path of sunscreen active ingredient, 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC) and 4-methoxycinnamic acid (MCA) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), was discussed. The reaction products were detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Sunscreen: Photometric Signatures of Galaxies Partially Cloaked in Dyson Spheres [PDF]
PASP 131 024102 (2019), 2018 The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence has so far come up negative for Kardashev Type III societies that capture all starlight from a galaxy. One possible reason is that shrouding a star in a megastructure is prohibitively expensive. Most of a galaxy's starlight comes from bright stars, which would require structures even larger than the ...

DNA repair enzymes in sunscreens and their impact on photoageing—A systematic review
Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 2020 DNA damage is one of the main factors responsible for photoageing and is predominantly attributed to ultraviolet irradiation (UV‐R). Photoprotection by conventional sunscreens is exclusively prophylactic, and of no value, once DNA damage has occurred. As

Exponentially Increasing Incidences of Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma in Europe Correlate with Low Personal Annual UV Doses and Suggests 2 Major Risk Factors [PDF]
, 2015 For several decades the incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) steadily increased in fair-skinned, indoor-working people around the world. Scientists think poor tanning ability resulting in sunburns initiate CMM, but they do not understand why ...

A Novel Fluorescent-Material-Based Simple Method for Sunscreen Evaluation
Applied Sciences, 2022 ISO standards exist for evaluating sunscreens, such as those based on visual inspection. This assessment yields subjective results and is thus unreliable.

Optics of sunscreen lotions: Preliminary results on scattering and absorption coefficients [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Sunscreen lotions are used to protect the skin from damage due to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The active UV blocking components can be organic molecules or inorganic particles, for example TiO2. While both in vivo and in vitro methods exist for assessing the protective capacity of sunscreens, their basic optical properties have received little ...

Experimental and theoretical studies on the photodegradation of 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate in the presence of reactive oxygen and chlorine species [PDF]
Gackowska, A., Przyby{\l}ek, M., Studzi\'nski, W. et al.
cent.eur.j.chem. (2014) 12: 612. https://doi.org/10.2478/s11532-014-0522-6, 2018 2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC) is one of the most commonly used sunscreen ingredient. In this study we investigated photodegradation of EHMC in the presence of such common oxidizing and chlorinating systems as H2O2, H2O2/HCl, H2O2/UV, and H2O2/HCl/UV.
