244 results about "UV filter" patented technology

The disclosure relates to sunscreen compositions having a synergistic combination of ultraviolet light (UV) filtering agents that provide a high sun protection factor (SPF). Compositions according to the disclosure have high SPF values without requiring high overall amounts of UV filtering agents, and without requiring the use of oxybenzone. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to methods of using the described compositions for protecting keratinous substances such as skin and hair from UV radiation.

A cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical composition containing: (a) a dimer diol; (b) a UV filter; (c) optionally, an oil component; (d) optionally, an emulsifier; and (e) optionally, water.

The invention is a light-protective cosmetic or dermatological preparation comprising (a) at least one water-soluble UV-filter substance and (b) at least one benzoxazole derivative. The invention is also a cosmetic or dermatological preparation comprising at least one water-soluble UV-filter substance and at least one benzoxazole derivative of a specified chemical structure. The invention is also a method of treating or preventing cosmetic or dermatological changes in the skin, a method of tanning or accelerating tanning of the skin, and a method of protecting the skin against light-induced aging, each comprising applying the cosmetic or dermatological preparation to the skin. The invention also includes a wipe impregnated with the preparation.

Composite materials that can be used to block ultraviolet radiation of a selected wavelength range are disclosed. The materials include dispersions of particles that exhibit optical resonance behavior, resulting in absorption cross-sections that substantially exceed the particles' geometric cross-sections. The particles are preferably manufactured as uniform nanosize encapsulated spheres, and dispersed evenly within a carrier material. Either the inner core or the outer shell of the particles comprises a conducting material exhibiting plasmon (Froehlich) resonance in a desired spectral band. The large absorption cross-sections ensure that a relatively small volume of particles will render the composite material fully opaque (or nearly so) to incident radiation of the resonance wavelength, blocking harmful radiation. The materials of the present invention can be used in manufacturing sunscreens, UV filters and blockers, ink, paints, lotions, gels, films, textiles, wound dressing and other solids having desired ultraviolet radiation-absorbing properties. The materials of the present invention can be used in systems consisting of reflecting substances such as paper or transparent support such as plastic or glass films. The particles can be further embedded in transparent plastic or glass beads to ensure a minimal distance between the particles.
