Abstract

Creating sunscreen cream formulations with a high sun protection factor (SPF) and desirable properties was the aim of this study. Zinc oxide, an organic UV filter, and titanium dioxide, an inorganic UV filter, were the active ingredients. Through the use of an emulsification technique, two ideal cream bases were created from a number of trial formulations and combined with both active ingredients at the permitted concentrations. The samples' physical characteristics, pH, viscosity, and in vitro SPF were measured. Additionally, the SPF of the sunscreen creams was compared to that of their equivalents that included titanium dioxide or zinc oxide at the same concentrations. The stability under freeze-thaw conditions was investigated. The findings showed that the combination of sunscreens' synergistic efficacy on SPF was validated. The SPF was impacted by the inherent characteristics of cream bases, particularly viscosity in the final product. Costs associated with disease were significantly reduced with a small investment in prevention. The final orders from the FDA regarding sunscreen labeling were just made public. Regarding over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen products, the final monograph revises the tentative final monograph. The term "sun block" will no longer be used, and a statement regarding the need of sunscreen to prevent sun damage will be included in the labeling standards. There will also be three categories for sun protection: minimum, moderate, and high.
