The presence of ultraviolet (UV) filters in skin care and cosmetic products represents a key benefit that cosmetics can provide consumers. The hazards of UV light exposure are well known. It is estimated that the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer in the United States exceeds one million cases per year (1). UV induced or photoaging accounts for 80% to 90% of visible skin aging (2). UV radiation damages the skin by both direct effects on DNA and indirectly on the skin’s immune system (3).
