Abstract

Exposure of human skin to sunlight is steadily rising. Complete protection against the detrimental effects of sun exposure requires strategies that have to include protection against all harmful wavelengths. Importantly, detrimental effects are not limited to the ultraviolet part of the solar spectrum but include near infrared as well. In order to achieve complete photoprotection it is mandatory to combine chemical and physical UV filters with molecules that can interfere with and/or prevent the detrimental effects of infrared-A radiation. Mitochondrially targeted antioxidants of synthetic as well as of natural origin are a promising approach to achieve this.
