Despite the health benefits of the sun, overexposure to solar radiation without proper
precautions can cause irreversible damage to exposed skin. In the search for balance between
the risks and benefits of exposure to solar radiation in human health, a technological alternative
was found, the incorporation of photoprotective products in lipid nanoparticulate systems for
topical application. These nanometric systems have demonstrated several advantages when used as
adjuvants in photoprotection compared to chemical and/or physical sunscreens alone. The increase
in the sun protection factor (SPF), photostability and UV action spectrum are parameters that have
benefited from the application of these systems in order to increase the effectiveness and safety of
photoprotective formulations containing organic and/or inorganic sunscreens.
