Estrogenic and neurological effects were noted in laboratory animals at concentrations close to those experienced by sunscreen users [11] [12] and were also shown in vitro. [ citation needed ] Octyl methoxycinnamate has been shown to be light sensitive with a decrease in UV absorption efficiency upon light exposure. [ 13 ]
A broad spectrum sunscreen with ecamsule, avobenzone and octocrylene significantly reduces the skin damage associated with UV exposure in human subjects. [9] In studies done in mice it reduces the formation of UV induced pyrimidine dimers and delays the onset of skin cancer. In vitro ecamsule effectively protects against the harmful effects of ...
