Abstract

Human skin is exposed to visible light (VL; 400-700 nm) and long wavelength ultraviolet A1 (UVA1) radiation (370-400 nm) after the application of organic broad-spectrum sunscreens. The biologic effects of these wavelengths have been demonstrated; however, a dose response has not been investigated. Ten subjects with Fitzpatrick skin phototype IV-VI were enrolled. Subjects were irradiated with 2 light sources (80-480 J/cm
