Skin Care Cosmetic: By: Anju Gurung

Skin care cosmetics are used to improve the appearance and health of the skin. They are formulated for different skin types and characteristics. The ideal sunscreen can absorb UV light between 280-320 nm, withstand heat/light/perspiration, provide broad spectrum protection, be cosmetically elegant, substantive, non-irritating, and economical. UV rays include UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA and UVB rays penetrate the skin and can cause damage, while UVC is blocked by the ozone layer. The effectiveness of sunscreen is affected by the interaction of ingredients, emulsion type, rheology, choice of emollients, and other factors like packaging and photostability

of appearance is known as cosmetic.

different types of skin and associated with its characteristics.
Classification of skin care cosmetics :
Skin care cosmetic
Skin:
• The skin or cutaneous membrane is the outermost layer which covers
and protects the surface of the body from external environment .
• It is the complex and largest organ of the body in both surface area
and weight .
• Its ph varies from 4-5.6 .
Structure of skin:
Functions of skin :
• It form the protective waterproof layer which act as barrier against
injury and microbial invasion ,chemical agent and various
environmental agents.
• It secretes sweat and sebum which keep skin soft .
• It also helps in maintaining water and electrolyte balance.
• It helps in synthesis of vitamin D from ergosterol of skin by the action
of uv rays of sunlight .
General Classification of skin :
Bouman types of skin:
sunscreen
• also known as suncream, sunblock or suntan lotion,
• is a lotion, spray, gel, foam (such as an expanded foam lotion or
whipped lotion), stick or other topical product that absorbs or reflects
some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thus helps protect
against sunburn and most importantly prevent skin cancer.
• Use of sunscreen can also help to slow or temporarily prevent the
development of wrinkles, dark spots and sagging skin.
Ideal sunscreen :
The ideal characteristics of sunscreen are :
• Able to absorb light has wavelength 280-320 micrometer
• Able to withstand heat, light and perspiration
• Broad spectrum
• Cosmetically elegant
• Substantive
• Non-irritant/non-toxic
• Hypoallergenic
• Economical
Concept of Uv rays :
• Since the skin is the largest organ of the human body, the importance of maintaining
homeostasis and protecting the skin from ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is important.
• Imbalances can result in wrinkles, hair loss, blisters, rashes, life-threatening cancers,
and disorders in immune regulation.
Types of UV radiation:
• There are three types of UV radiation: UVA, UVB, and UVC.
UVC:
• UVC is not as much of a concern because its rays are blocked by the ozone layer and
therefore do not reach the earth's surface.
•  Photoprotection from both UVA and UVB radiation is more of a concern for patients.
UVA:
• UVA (320–400nm) has a longer wavelength; therefore, its rays penetrate
deeper into the skin through both the epidermis and dermis .
• UVA can be further subdivided into UVA I (320–400nm or “far UVA”) and
UVA II (320–340nm or “near UVA”).
• UVA rays are present throughout the day, even in the morning and late
afternoon.
• Because UVA can penetrate window glass, a very photosensitive patient
may even have difficulty indoors.

UVB:
• UVB (290–320 nm), also known as the “burn rays,” are typically what we
think of with sunscreen coverage.
• Most automobile glass and windows block these rays

Factors affecting the effectiveness of
sunscreen preparations:

• Antibiotics, particularly tetracyclines like doxycycline and
fluoroquinolones like ciprofloxacin.
• Tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline and nortriptyline.
• Older antihistamines like promethazine.
• Griseofulvin, an antifungal medication.
