UV Absorbers, also known as UV filters, are used extensively in cosmetic products and some drugs. As a result of ill effects of UV on human skin, their uses have increased enormously in recent years. Most of the negative effects of sunlight including sunburn, light-induced cell injury and skin cancer are induced by UVB radiation (280-320 nm). UVA radiation (320-400 nm) mainly contributes to premature skin aging and direct pigmentation. L C United offers a range of UVA- and UVB filters as follows:
