Chemistry of Sunscreens “Over 400 years ago‚ Copernicus declared that the sun was the center of our universe. Primitive societies in every continent have worshiped the sun as the god that provided warmth and made the crops grow” Today‚ the sun is not something we worship but something we try to avoid due to the fact that we are aware that it contains two main sources of ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to our bodies. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is defined by wavelengths‚ and is divided

Chemistry of cosmetics Few people would whip out a chemistry set‚ uncork the vials‚ and slap the compounds on their face. Yet‚ millions of women and girls essentially do that every day when they unzip their makeup bags and apply lipstick‚ mascara‚ and other makeup. Like the compounds in a chemistry set‚ makeup consists of chemicals. Although the chemicals in cosmetic products are intended to improve the appearance of skin‚ lips‚ and lashes‚ some can cause adverse effects. Emulsions The majority

typically triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate‚ or TEGDMA‚ is added to reduce the viscosity. Another disadvantage of using bis-GMA is that it absorbs light‚ which could possibly lead to color changes. Knowing this‚ the compound‚ 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzophenone‚ is added to the matrix to keep light from being absorbed and prevent the discoloration. Since bis-GMA is capable of polymerizing spontaneously under normal storage conditions‚ polymerization inhibitors are added to the matrix. The most common

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. There are two different types of skin cancers: Melanomas and non-melanomas. To understand both of these terms a little better you need to be aware that your skin is divided up into 3 layers: the epidermis‚ dermis‚ and subcutis. The top layer‚ the epidermis‚ is very thin and serves to protect the deeper layers of the skin. The epidermis is also composed of basal cells‚ which in turn divide to form squamous cells and melanocytes. Melanoma

The Chemistry of Cosmetics Cosmetics are an excellent example of how discoveries in chemistry are part of our day-to-day lives. In fact‚ just reading the composition of any common cosmetic can become a chemistry class: water‚ emulsifiers‚ preservatives‚ thickeners‚ pH stabilizers‚ dyes and fragrances‚ combined in different ratios‚ for different purposes. The use of cosmetics – that is‚ chemical compounds to improve our appearance – is not a recent phenomenon. It is said that the Egyptian queen Cleopatra

SODIUM gSodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft‚ silver-white‚ highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature‚ but instead must be prepared from its compounds; it was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust‚ and exists in numerous minerals such
