Sunscreen for the Eyes?

…by Joseph Albanese

n intriguing title perhaps, but does such a thing exist? That’s the question that came to mind after reviewing the wide range of topics slated to be presented at the November 13th full-day symposium “Sunscreens & Antioxidants – Perfect Together” at the Liberty Science Center, Jersey City, New Jersey. In this article, I focus on the eyeballs, not the epidermis of the eyelids or cutaneous regions surrounding the eyes. These areas can be protected safely and effectively from solar radiation with approved sunscreens and/or antioxidants as long as special care is taken not to get them into one’s eyes. There seems to be many such eye creams and serums marketed for use around the eyes.1,2 Before we get into the types of damage UV radiation causes to our eyes, let’s consider for a moment how we can protect them from sunlight, blue light, and other potentially harmful radiation. Without us consciously doing anything at all, our pupils automatically constrict to permit less light to enter the eye. We can assist this effort by reflexively squinting and by purposely blinking more often. These actions reduce the amount of light entering our eyes by narrowing the gap between, or momentarily closing, our eyelids. We can shade our eyes by raising our hand to our forehead, wearing a broad-billed hat, or lowering the visor above our heads to see better when driving. UV-absorbing contact lenses protect the cornea and reduce the harmful effects of UV radiation on the retina, but they do not cover the entire eye. In addition, it is important to invest in a good pair of sunglasses and to never leave home without them. The most relevant questions for this discussion are: What kinds of harm does UV radiation cause to our eyeballs? Are there any safe and effective topical applications available to protect our eyes from UV exposure? Do commercial eyedrops make any sunscreen or

photoprotection claims, which surely would put them in the realm of OTC drugs? What role does the concerned cosmetic chemist play in researching and developing a product that will improve eye health and benefit public safety? Can a currently approved sunscreen for skincare, either in the U.S. or abroad, be adapted and/or combined with antioxidants for safe and effective eye protection? I decided to do some online research. Here is what I learned:

UV Damage to Eyes Reliable, trustworthy websites include those of the World Health Organization (WHO), American Optometric Association, and American Academy of Ophthalmology.3,4,5 The negative effects of excessive UV exposure on the eye over a short period of time include two conditions that may be likened to sunburn of the eyes. These inflammatory conditions appear just a few hours after sufficient UV exposure and may be painful. The first, photokeratitis, is an inflammation of the cornea. Red eyes, a feeling that something is in the eyes, heightened sensitivity to light, and excessive tearing are all symptomatic of photokeratitis. The agony associated with snow blindness, a severe form of photokeratitis, comes from the shedding of dead corneal and other cells comprising the outer layer of the eyeball. In all but the worst cases, dead cells are replaced quickly, and vision returns within a few days. In the worst cases of photokeratitis, however, further complications like chronic irritation and/or tearing develop. The second condition, photoconjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the lining of the eyelids and eye socket. Both photokeratitis and photoconjunctivitis are generally reversible and do not seem to result in any long-term damage to the eye or vision. (Continued on page 4)

Letter from the Chair

…Sonia Dawson

s we head into the holiday season, I always like to reflect on the past year and express my gratitude to all who continue to make 2019 a stellar year for the NYSCC! October’s educational program attracted nearly 200 attendees at the elegant Venetian in Garfield, New Jersey. Entitled “The Challenges and Opportunities of Formulating with Naturals,” the sold-out program’s content, spearheaded by Giorgio Dell’Acqua, was spot-on! We were also pleased to host a Press & Friends reception in New York City on October 23rd with close to 40 partners, members of the media, and NYSCC committee members in attendance. We celebrated their contribution in ensuring NYSCC Suppliers’ Day offers the best programs and diverse expo floor so that the thousands of attendees who make this their show of choice continue to return. The event was held at Casellula, a cheese-focused venue. Join us on November 13th for our next big event, “Sunscreens & Antioxidants – Perfect Together,” at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City. Sponsored by Bioscreen Testing Services, Presperse, and Aprinnova, this symposium seeks to advance the science surrounding the prevention and repair of UV-induced skin damage in order to benefit public health and beauty. I hope you have made plans to attend the SCC’s 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting and Technology Showcase in December. A highlight of this event is our own NYSCC Supports Education event taking place on Tuesday, December 17th at Stage 48.

Sunscreen for the Eyes?

(Continued from page 1)

Exposure to UV radiation could also cause the conjunctiva to grow onto the surface of the eye. This condition, known as pterygium, is not pleasant and vision will be obstructed if the conjunctiva’s growth covers the center of the cornea. This overgrowth of the conjunctiva may become inflamed. Surgical removal is possible, but pterygium tends to recur. Exposure to UV may promote the formation of cataracts and macular degeneration later in life. The WHO estimates that up to 20% of cataracts can be avoided by preventing overexposure to UV radiation. Apparently, UV-B is a key suspect in causing proteins to degrade and destroy the clarity of the eyes’ lenses. Eyesight can be saved by surgical removal of cataracts and replacement of the eye’s natural lens with a transparent, intraocular, artificial lens, which nowadays often includes a UV-absorbent. Besides UV-A and UV-B radiation, natural daylight reaching the Earth’s surface also contains beneficial blue light as part of the visible spectrum. However, the increasing use of computers, smartphones, and other digital devices with their output of artificial light leads to chronic exposure to shorter wavelengths of blue and violet light that can damage the retina of the eye. Digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome (CVS) exacerbates the onset of age-related macular degeneration, a deterioration of the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. Lastly, life-long exposure to UV radiation may cause malignant cancers. While melanoma is the most frequent cancer of the eyeball, basal cell carcinoma may occur on the eyelids.

Topical Applications for UV Protection of the Eyeball The website of a UK-based company promotes eye drops claiming broad spectrum UV protection (SPF 50+ UVA/UVB) with nanoparticles.6 I must admit that I am a bit skeptical. Catchphrases include: Mineral sunscreen for your eyes; Made from 100% organic and natural ingredients; Perfect alongside our lightening and color changing eye drops (shielding the eyes from reduced melanin); MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) eye drops can help to soften the membranes, allowing fluids to pass through the optical tissues; MSM is natural sulphur that resides in the body; and Multi-spectrum UV protection provides unrivalled protection against sun and free radical exposure that might otherwise cause eyes to darken again. The ingredients listed for the product consist of OptiMSM®, lutein, strawberry extract, raspberry extract, buckthorn, aloe vera, chamomile extract, hyaluronic acid, zinc oxide, glutathione, vitamin C ester, hyaluronic acid, zinc oxide derived nano particles, propolis, and AMTicide® coconut. A paper published in 1998 reported the efficacy test results of commercially available eye drops containing 8-hydroxy-1-methylchinolinium methylsulphate, which supposedly provided protection against both solar and artificial UV radiation.7 The researchers found that transmission of UV radiation through a liquid layer about the same thickness as the human tear film (10 microns) showed a cut-off at 290 nm with a transmission of about 25-50% at shorter wavelengths. For wavelengths longer than 290 nm the transmission was higher than 90%. The threshold time ratio for photokeratitis formation with and without eye drops is above 0.93 for exposure to solar radiation on the Earth’s surface and above 0.65 if exposed to radiation from arc-welding. They concluded that while the transmission spectrum of the eye drops under realistic conditions did not show a protective effect against solar UV-A and UV-B radiation, it did reduce UV-C radiation in the spectral range typical of artificial UV sources such as that produced from arc-welding.

Research and Development While currently approved sunscreens may not be safe and effective for eyes, antioxidants and/or vitamins are another story. U.S. Patent 6,291,519, which was granted to inventors at Novartis AG on September 18, 2001 and entitled “Method of preventing damage to eye tissue,” covers a method for preventing damage to mammalian eye tissues by UV-irradiation and ozone by applying to the eye a pharmaceutically effective amount of vitamin A and vitamin E.8 In 2009, researchers at Innovative Vision Products published a paper on N-acetylcarnosine lubricant 4

eyedrops.9 According to the authors, such eyedrops possess all-inone universal antioxidant protective effects in aqueous and lipid membrane environments due to L-carnosine, which also improves aldehyde scavenging and reduces transglycation activities inherent to cataracts. This work is based on a clinical study of a database population of over 50,500 patients. Antioxidants used in eye drops are useful as a preventative measure for eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma. While L-carnosine is considered a potent free radical scavenger, N-acetylL-carnosine is reported especially effective against free radicals in the eye. L-Glutathione is another powerful antioxidant used by the eyes, especially in the lens. Some of the major companies selling a slew of eyedrops to alleviate symptoms do not provide solutions to protect from and prevent UV-induced eye damage. Some products only focus on “getting the red out.” In conclusion, while there doesn’t appear to be much available on-line regarding the research, development, and commercialization of topical eyedrops claiming UV protection it seems to me to be an area with ample opportunities.

he symposium seeks to advance the science of prevention and repair of UV-induced bodily damage to benefit public health and beauty. Initially geared toward the cosmetic chemist engaged in formulating sunscreen products, the central theme originated from the following sentence gleamed from the pages of Antioxidants and the Skin by Dr. Roger L. McMullen: “Overall, it appears that the addition of antioxidants to sun protection formulas can provide superior benefits if there are no prooxidant effects, as evidenced by scientific literature and the number of commercial formulations containing antioxidants.” While the central theme remains the same, the range of topics for the symposium has expanded beyond just sunscreen formulations that contain antioxidants. Attendees will also learn from many experts speaking on regulatory issues, testing methodologies, biochemistry of UV effects on skin (and hair), innovative ingredients, and self-tanners. One person described the format of the program as “speed dating for cosmetic chemists”. All speakers, with the exception of the keynote speaker, will be given 15 minutes to drive home their message. This format will result in an event that is both educational and lively.

New Proposed FDA Regulations – Dr. Nadim Shaath (Alpha Research & Development, Ltd.)

n February 26, 2019, the FDA published a “proposed” rule that would put into effect a Final Monograph for OTC sunscreen drug products. The date for issuing the Final Monograph as mandated by the Sunscreen Innovation Act will presumably be November 26, 2019. This proposal, coupled with the recent Journal of the American Medical Association article by the FDA, which revealed that four UV filters were found in high levels in the blood of human volunteers, has created a major crisis in the sunscreen industry and caused significant alarm among U.S. consumers. This presentation will address the implications of the proposed final rule regulation on sunscreens and ultraviolet filters in the United States. It will also review the impact of the Hawaii legislation, and others, on the viability of oxybenzone and octinoxate as effective ultraviolet filters. (Continued on page 8)

DNA Damage from Sun Exposure - Can Antioxidants Protect It? – Dr. Nava Dayan (Dr. Nava Dayan LLC)

hat happens when the sun shines on our skin? A wave, or perhaps particulate matter, or possibly both, penetrate what we perceive as a molecular barrier. If a photon of light could speak English, how would it describe its journey into the skin? While we know that UVB irradiation affects various biological phenomena in skin cells, we do not know exactly why and how it happens at the submolecular level. Traditionally, the generation of a flood of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is linked to a biological imbalance known as inflammation. We are able to identify and quantify ROS; however, what do we know about the effect of their energy levels, vibration characteristics, and electron spinning behavior on DNA damage? In this presentation, we will review what is known about sun exposure oxidative stress and DNA damage at the molecular and quantum levels and suggest a potential hypothesis for damage mitigation by antioxidants. n Nava

UV Filter (UVF) and Antioxidant (AOX) Combinations are Essential for Global Photo-Security – Marc Cornell

ccording to the American Cancer Society, ultraviolet rays damage the DNA of skin cells. Complete photoprotection usually includes UV filters and antioxidants. Imagine that UV filters provide the primary barrier in our attempts to protect the skin and achieve global photo-security. The secondary layer of protection can be found in the innate antioxidant chemistry of our skin. Applying antioxidants in topical form in conjunction with UV filters makes sense, even with the stability challenges inherent to these materials. A recently coined term, “exposome,” describes the totality of exposures to which an individual is subjected from conception to death. These exposures come from our environment and need to be managed in our lifestyle and skin care regime. This talk will provide examples of raw materials and finished products whose goal is global photo-security.

Photo-stabilization of UVA/UVB Sunscreen Actives by Pongamol Natural Antioxidant

– Dr. Laura Spalding (Mane USA)

t is well known that a dual approach to protecting the skin from the sun is a must to avoid adverse reactions caused by UVA/UVB radiation and free radical formation. Issues of limited FDA approved sunscreen actives, photo-instability of key actives that become inefficient and form reactive oxygen species, and degradation of skin proteins to form other reactive oxygen species need to be addressed when formulating the optimum sunscreen product. Pongamol is an abundant, photostable, natural flavonoid type compound that effectively photo-stabilizes UVA/UVB blends of avobenzone/octinoxate sunscreen actives. Pongamol easily absorbs UVA radiation due to its structural similarity to avobenzone, although it is different (Continued on page 10)

enough to avoid the immediate degradation pathways experienced by avobenzone. Studies demonstrate Pongamol’s powerful antioxidant activity via ORAC test results and immunostaining of epidermal explants for imaging the reduction in oxidized proteins and a decrease in Oxidative Stress Responsive-1 (OXSR-1) protein.

Antioxidant, UV Protection, and Antiphotoaging Properties of Anthocyanin-Pigmented Lipstick Formulations – Alexandra Sirosky (Sensient)

onsumer demand for foods and cosmetics containing naturally derived ingredients has been increasing. Naturally derived anthocyanins (ACNs) from fruits and vegetables were previously demonstrated to provide a wide range of hues as lipstick colorants with high stability. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the use of ACNs as bioactive pigments in lipstick formulations. Commercially available sources of nonacylated and acylated derivatives of the six major ACN aglycones were incorporated into a commercial lipstick base. The lipsticks containing ACN were evaluated for their ability to act as ultraviolet (UV) absorbers [a source of sun protection factor (SPF)], free radical scavengers against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and preventers of melanin formation through tyrosinase inhibition. All formulas showed increased UV absorption over the lipstick base, and acylated ACNs contributed to the highest in vitro SPF (UVB) values (≥ 15.8) in formulations. All formulas exhibited high inhibition of DPPH free radicals and inhibition of melanin production by tyrosinase at microgram per milligram concentrations similar to or less than kojic acid (2.41 ± 0.06 μg/mg). This is physiologically relevant because lipstick use is on average 24 mg/day. This study suggests the potential of ACNs as biologically active ingredients in lipstick formulations by acting as antioxidants and UV-protection and antiaging compounds.

V radiation can be absorbed by molecules in skin and provoke direct photochemical damage (e.g., pyrimidine dimers in DNA) and indirect oxidative damage when the absorbing molecule transfers a charge or energy to molecular oxygen in a photosensitization process. Charge transfer generates the superoxide radical. This process occurs at a low rate and results in the production of the hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide, which can oxidize biomolecules. Energy transfer generates the highly reactive oxygen species, singlet oxygen. This process can occur with high quantum yield and is catalyzed not only by endogenous sensitizers but also by stable UVA filters such as TiO2, ZnO, and some organic filters. Singlet oxygen can catalyze the peroxidative cascade, thus creating havoc in cell membranes and provoking cellular necrosis. To avoid the damage provoked by reactive oxygen species, one can use scavengers such as mannitol, α-tocopherol, and β-carotene. New technologies such as bis(cyano butylacetate) anthracenediylidene are able to hinder the production of singlet oxygen and are therefore more efficient than regular scavengers. n Paolo

Sun Protection in the Whole Spectral Range – Why and How? – Keynote Speaker: Dr. Martina Meinke (Dermatology at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin)

o far, sun protection is based on UV protection, but investigations have shown that up to 50% of the radicals formed by sun light are related to the visible (VIS) and near infrared (NIR) region.1 The high protection by sunscreens in the UV leads to longer sun exposition and the radical load in the VIS+NIR becomes relevant.2 This is even more pronounced in darker skin types possibly due to high temperature impact.3 Thus, sun protection in the visible and NIR region is necessary. Absorbers, as used in the UV region, would color the formulation, if used for the visible region, and are not available in the NIR. Pigments, which serve as a first protection strategy, are used in the UV region and also offer protection in the VIS+NIR spectral region, but with fewer effects.4 The scattering properties decrease with increasing wavelength. Nevertheless, the radicals can be scavenged by antioxidants and can reduce the radical load in all spectral regions.5 They are most effective in the visible and NIR region. So far, EPR measurements can be used to determine the protection ex vivo and the cutaneous carotenoids are used as a marker substance to monitor protection in vivo. Carotenoids are decreased during radical formation also in the visible and NIR and it could be shown that selected topically applied formulations could protect darker skin in the NIR spectral region.6 Furthermore, for darker skin, cooling substances are recommended.

The Invisible Parasol – Shielding Hair and Scalp from UV Damage – Joseph Dallal (Ashland)

verexposure of skin to solar radiation is often visible the same day of the occurrence. The victim, as well as passersby, can see the painful, immediate damage or lingering effects: sunburn redness and pain, peeling, flaking, and possibly tanning. One can also see the long-term effects of solar radiation on hair: bleaching; dull, rough hair; split ends; breakage; and so on. New technology allows us to quantify consumer perceivable damage to the hair fiber, at as little as 72 hours of solar exposure. Biochemical assays can detect the damage at the hair papilla, where the living cells create the new hair shaft. n Joseph

UV, Light, and Skin Protection: What’s New Under the Sun – Eric Jourdan (Sensient)

un irradiation is one of the major environmental factors that affects skin, as UV damage induces numerous short- and long-term consequences. Sunscreen use helps prevent such deleterious effects and, fortunately, there is a dermatological consensus to use them to prevent several specific clinical manifestations of skin damage including sunburns, skin aging, and cancer.1 Their efficacy is proven by clinical research; however, as scientific knowledge advances, so too does our understanding that UV protection may not be sufficient.2,3 Several recent discoveries in skin biology have demonstrated that UV radiation is not the sole cause of skin damage. It seems that visible light and infrared radiation are also to blame, even if there is no consensus on their evaluation.4,5 In response, we must seek out a total light shield to prevent all sun damage. However, developing sun protection that is sufficient to cover an entire spectral range of solar radiation has proven challenging. The addition of antioxidants could be one solution, as they are well recognized for their efficiency in reducing UV- and light-induced oxidative stress. But so far, the addition of antioxidants to sunscreens has been met with disappointing results, as they alone cannot provide total protection.6 The key (or keys) for the creation of a sunscreen for the future will be a balance of the use of several types of antioxidants in combination with UV filters in order to achieve the ideal, full spectrum sun protection.7
