Our research group developed and patented an innovative generation of eco-compatible sunscreen formulations designed to ensure effective photoprotection while minimizing environmental impact. The patent describes novel sunscreen compositions that provide broad-spectrum UV protection (UVA and UVB), with formulations adaptable to different SPF levels (as illustrated in Figure 6 of the application, page 1). The invention specifically addresses the growing concern regarding the ecological effects of conventional sunscreens, particularly their impact on marine ecosystems and coral reefs. As stated in the abstract, the compositions are designed to be compatible with marine life and not harmful to ecosystems, especially in tropical environments. The innovation integrates scientific evidence linking certain sunscreen ingredients to coral bleaching and viral infections in marine organisms, and proposes alternative formulations aimed at maintaining high photoprotective efficacy without contributing to environmental degradation. This patent reflects our group’s commitment to translational research at the interface between marine biology, environmental science, and cosmetic formulation, transforming ecological knowledge into applied solutions for sustainable sun protection.
