Abstract:

To solve the greasiness and irritation risks brought about by organic sun-screening agents in sunscreen emulsions, in this work, a sunscreen O/W/Si multiple emulsion was prepared by two-step emulsification method, in which the outer oil phase was silicone oil and the inner oil phase was solid lipid nanoparticles coated with organic sun-screening agent. Several influencing factors on the formation and stability of the emulsion were analyzed, including inorganic salts, the volume fraction of outer oil phase (silicone oil), and the dosage of W/O emulsifier. The in vitro sunscreen performance, water resistance and skin permeability of different types of sunscreen emulsions were further studied. The results showed that the sunscreen O/W/Si multiple emulsion containing 22.5% silicone oil, 2.5% emulsifier and 0.2% NaCl had the best stability under the experimental conditions. The SPF value and water resistance of sunscreen O/W/Si multiple emulsion were slightly higher than those of sunscreen W/O emulsion, but significantly higher than those of sunscreen O/W emulsion. Compared with sunscreen W/O emulsion, the in vitro transdermal permeability of organic sun-screening agent in sunscreen O/W/Si multiple emulsion was reduced by approximately 60%, indicative of higher safety and good application prospect in sunscreen cosmetics.

Key words: O/W/Si multiple emulsion, organic sunscreen, sun protection performance, water resistance, percutaneous permeability
