Sunscreens: Is Looking at Sun Protection Factor Enough? REVIEW ARTICLES Sunscreens: Is Looking at Sun Protection Factor Enough? Dr. T. Y. Ho Social Hygiene Service (Dermatology), Department of Health, Hong Kong ABSTRACT As mounting evidence points to the photocarcinogenicity and the photoaging potential of chronic ultraviolet A (UVA) exposure, broad-spectrum sunscreens that are effective against both ultraviolet B (UVB) and UVA radiation are obviously preferred. Older chemical filters are not effective against the longer UVA. Several chemical filters have been developed recently to provide invisible protection for the UVA spectrum. The sun protection factor (SPF) can only indicate the level of protection against UVB, but not UVA. There is not yet any widely accepted method to measure UVA protection. Keywords: Review, sunscreen, ultraviolet A INTRODUCTION unacceptable. However, several organic UVA filters have been developed recently which aim to provide The sun protection factor (SPF) has widely been invisible protection against the whole UVA spectrum. used to evaluate the protective value of sunscreens. However, SPF only reflects the effectiveness of the This review will examine the evidence for the sunscreen to protect against acute sunburn which is harmful potential of UVA, discuss the safety issues mainly due to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation.

However, there has been increasing evidence pointing to the photocarcinogenicity and the photoaging potential of ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation even at ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION suberythemogenic doses. Therefore, broad-spectrum solar protection covering both the UVA and the UVB Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is defined as those range is desirable, and choosing sunscreen products electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between simply basing on the SPF value will not be adequate. 100 and 400 nm, and is divided into UVA (320-400 nm), UVB (290-320 nm) and UVC (100-290 nm). UVA can Ultraviolet filters developed in the past are mainly be further divided into UVA I (340-400 nm) and UVA effective across the UVB wavelengths, though some II (320-340 nm).

Peu à peu, une prise de conscience s’est opérée permettant de relativiser les bienfaits d’expositions solaires prolongées. Les UVB ont été les premiers à être incriminés dans la survenue de cancers cutanés. La recherche de filtres efficaces dans le domaine UVB a donc vu le jour dans les années 1920 avec en particulier la synthèse de l’acide para-aminobenzoïque. Beaucoup plus récemment, on s’est intéressé à l’implication des UVA et il est maintenant bien établi que ces derniers ont leur part dans la carcinogenèse cutanée et dans le vieillissement photo-induit. Les conséquences de la surexposition solaire de beaucoup de personnes relèvent d’une politique de santé publique et il est devenu indispensable de mener des campagnes de prévention et d’avoir à disposition des consommateurs des produits efficaces tant dans le domaine UVA que dans le domaine UVB. En France, l’AFSSaPS a émis un certain nombre de recommandations visant à atteindre ce but.
