Unprotected exposure to solar UV is the main recognized cause of the spreading of skin cancer that has occurred in the last decades. Organic and inorganic UV filters are the main defense against UV exposure and have become ubiquitous in personal-care products, packaging, plastics, dyes, and many other sectors. UV filters still have some stability and efficacy issues making it important to find stable and broad-spectrum UV absorbers, safer for human health and the environment.
