Screening Sunscreens: Protecting the Biomechanical Barrier Function of Skin from Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Damage

ConclusionIn vitro thin film mechanics techniques can readily characterize the effects of SC's exposure to UV radiation. The methods used in this study demonstrated commercial sunscreens were able to preserve the biomechanical properties of SC during UV exposure, thus indicating the barrier function of SC was also maintained.This article is protected by copyright.
