The presence of UV filters in skin care and cosmetic products represents a key benefit that cosmetics can provide consumers. The hazards of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure are well known. It is estimated that the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer in the United States exceeds one million cases per year (1). UV-induced or photoaging accounts for most of the ageassociated changes in skin appearance (2). UV radiation (UVR) damages the skin by both direct effects on DNA and indirectly on the skin’s immune system (3).
