Abstract
Sunscreens have evolved significantly from their ancient origins to become essential tools in photoprotection. This special edition on sunscreens traces the development of sunscreen agents, assesses their safety profile based on clinical and toxicological studies, and explores current trends in public perception and usage behavior. Differences in sunscreen indications based on skin tone and the regulatory disparities affecting sunscreen filter availability across geographic regions are also included in this special edition.
期刊介绍:
The journal is a forum for new information about the direct and distant effects of electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet, visible and infrared) mediated through skin. The divisions of the editorial board reflect areas of specific interest: aging, carcinogenesis, immunology, instrumentation and optics, lasers, photodynamic therapy, photosensitivity, pigmentation and therapy. Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine includes original articles, reviews, communications and editorials.
Original articles may include the investigation of experimental or pathological processes in humans or animals in vivo or the investigation of radiation effects in cells or tissues in vitro. Methodology need have no limitation; rather, it should be appropriate to the question addressed.
