Preface
Photoprotection captures the interest of physicians, academic researchers, industry scientists, law makers, marketers, general media, and consumers. It is a dynamic field where progresses and advancements often hinge on close collaboration of multidisciplinary teams. In the past decade, significant development has been made in the realm of sunscreens where novel UV filters and innovative formulation techniques have improved both the efficacy and aesthetic components of end products. To enhance protection from UV and even visible and infrared radiation, there has been active research exploring the application of antioxidants, nanotechnology, and DNA repair enzymes in photoprotection. Along the way, there has been a general trend towards global harmonization in guidelines for both testing and labeling claims in sunscreens. At the same time, recent clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of sunscreen in protecting against skin cancer and photoaging. Continual research has shown the importance of photoprotection in preventing photodermatoses and photoaggravated autoimmune diseases. Despite these scientific and medical advances, there remain many myt
