Impact of Iron Oxide Containing Formulations Against Visible Light Induced Skin Pigmentation in Skin of Color Individuals
Visible light (400–700nm), which contributes to 45% of solar radiation, contributes to skin darkening and worsening dyschromia, particularly in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin phototypes III and higher. Currently, sunscreens provide limited protection against that spectrum. Due to their capabilities in absorbing, scattering, and reflecting visible light, topical products containing pigments and metal oxides can provide additional photoprotection. This study evaluated the efficacy of two formul
