TiO2-promoted mineralization of organic sunscreens in water suspension and sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles
Abstract
The photostability of the widely used UVB sunscreen agents 2′-ethylhexyl-2-cyano-3-phenylcinnamate (1), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (2), octyl salicilate (3), and 2′-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate (4) has been investigated under UVA irradiation in the absence and presence of TiO2, an inorganic filter commonly employed in combination with organic filters in sunscreen preparations. In the absence of TiO2, 1-3 are photostable and 4 undergoes …
