The first 'intelligent ultraviolet filters': chemicals for cosmetics that respond to changes in sun intensity by adjusting their protection against the sun live on the skin.

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

Blueshift Pharma will market the first 'intelligent UV filters': chemicals for cosmetics that change their SPF to match nature¿s daily flux in sun intensity. Today's cosmetics absorb constant levels of UV rays without dealing with the problem that UV intensity varies greatly with time of day, cloud cover and altitude. Therefore, sun protection in practice oscillates between under protection and over protection. Blueshift's sun responsive UV filters alleviate this problem and thus will reduce skin cancer and skin aging associated with sun exposure.
