Article Synopsis
- Chronic sun exposure leads to common skin issues like wrinkles and pre-cancerous growths, particularly affecting the driver's side of the face due to UVA rays from sunlight while driving.
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of auto glass and UV-blocking window film in reducing UV damage through a photoprotection assay.
- Results showed that while auto glass reduced cell damage by 29%, UV film alone decreased it by 90%, and the combination of both offered a 93% reduction, highlighting the film's potential to significantly protect against UV-related skin damage and conditions.
Background: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation damages skin through a variety of mechanisms, including the generation of free radicals. Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that is capable of chelating metals and may also function by scavenging free radicals, thereby protecting skin from some of the damaging effects of UV radiation.
Objective: This study measured the ability of gluconolactone to protect against UV radiation-induced damage.
