Sun filters in cosmetics can cause allergies, particularly in individuals with photodermatosis. Diagnosis involves photopatch and epidermotests, with treatment focusing on avoiding the allergen and using mineral sunscreens.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Cosmetic Science
  • Photobiology

Context:

  • Sun filters, introduced in the 1930s, are prevalent in photo-protective creams and cosmetics.
  • While uncommon in the general population (<2%), sun filter allergies are more frequent in individuals with suspected photodermatosis (2-25%).

Purpose:

  • To investigate the prevalence and nature of allergies to sun filters.
  • To highlight the diagnostic methods and treatment strategies for sun filter-induced allergies.

Summary:

  • Allergic reactions to sun filters encompass both contact allergies and photo contact allergies (45-85% of cases).
  • Photo-biological exploration, including photopatch tests and epidermotests, is crucial for diagnosis.
  • Cross-allergies can occur between different sun filters or chemically similar substances.

Impact:

  • This research underscores the importance of identifying sun filter allergens in dermatological practice.
  • It guides the selection of appropriate sun protection, recommending the avoidance of causal filters and the use of non-allergenic mineral screens.
