Abstract

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present study was to carry out stability tests and in vitro sun protection factor (SPF) evaluations of formulations containing free or microencapsulated chemical sun filters to improve their use. To this end, three formulations were developed and subjected to stability studies. The most stable formulation was chosen as a vehicle for free and microencapsulated chemical sun filters, and subjected to further stability studies and in vitro SPF assays. The SPF values were approximately 12 and 11 for formulations containing free and encapsulated sun filters, respectively, and both types were stable under stress. Chemical sun filters can be microencapsulated, which may aid in generating innovative sunscreen formulations.
