Sunscreen allergy and photoallergy are significant concerns, affecting 7.4% of patients with suspected photodermatitis. Common culprits include oxybenzone and isopropyl dibenzoylmethane, highlighting the need for awareness in cosmetic product use.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Cosmetic Science
  • Allergology

Background:

  • Ultraviolet (UV) filters are widely integrated into cosmetic products.
  • Growing use of UV filters necessitates understanding potential adverse reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of sunscreen allergy in individuals with suspected photodermatitis.
  • To identify specific sunscreen agents causing allergic or photoallergic reactions.

Main Methods:

  • 108 patients underwent patch testing using the Gruppo Italiano Ricerca Dermatiti da Contatto e Ambientali (GIRDCA) standard series.
  • Photopatch testing was performed with a specialized photopatch series to assess photoallergy.

Main Results:

  • A diagnosis of allergy and/or photoallergy to sunscreen agents was made in 8 subjects (7.4%).

  • Oxybenzone showed positive reactions in 4 patients, isopropyl dibenzoylmethane in 3, and p-aminobenzoic acid and 2-ethylhexyl-p-methoxycinnamate in 1 patient each.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sunscreens are identified as the most frequent photoallergens.
    • Findings underscore the clinical relevance of sunscreen-induced allergic contact dermatitis and photoallergy.
