Cyclodextrins for UV Rays Filtration

Traditional UVR absorbers pose environmental and health risks due to their volatility, solubility, and toxicity. High concentrations are needed for effective UV filtration, leading to environmental accumulation. Safer alternatives, like cyclodextrin complexation, can enhance UV filtration while reducing absorber concentration. Cyclodextrin complexation offers a promising solution by enhancing UV filtration efficiency while reducing the required concentration of UVR absorbers.

Cyclodextrins for UV Rays Filtration addresses a critical gap in photoprotection research by offering a comprehensive exploration of how cyclodextrins enhance UVR filtration. It provides an in-depth understanding of various UVR filters, including organic, inorganic, nanoparticle-based, natural, and herbal filters, while focusing on optimizing their efficiency through cyclodextrin complexation. This book serves as a single-point reference for researchers and professionals, guiding them in selecting suitable cyclodextrins based on UV absorber size, improving SPF/UPF performance, and reducing environmental impact. By presenting both fundamental principles and advanced applications, this book distinguishes itself as the first dedicated monograph on cyclodextrin-based UVR filters, making it an essential resource for academia and industry.
