Abstract-Acute and chronic exposure to nonphysiological doses of ultraviolet radiation leads to variety of changes of skin ranging from sun-burn, erythema to skin cancer. For skin protection from deleterious effects of sunlight, sunscreen products are used in various forms having chemical and physical filters. However, synthetic sunscreen formulations are reported to cause adverse effects. Thus the present study was planned to evaluate the sun protection factor (SPF) of leaves extract of Murraya koenigii for their application as herbal sunscreens. The results suggested that the occurrence of active compounds responsible for ultraviolet absorption can be extracted for use in sunscreens preparations as better, cheaper and safe alternative to harmful chemical sunscreens. Keywords: UV radiations, SPF, Murraya koenigii

ABSTRACTA qualitative study was conducted using a convergent care approach, whose aim was to identify the knowledge of the neonatal nursing team about the prevention of skin lesions in hospitalized newborns. This study was conducted in the neonatal unit of a hospital in southern Brazil with 14 nursing professionals. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews performed in November and December 2012. Data analysis was through apprehension, synthesis, theorization and a recontextualization processes. The results show nursing professionals are aware of newborn skin particularities, recognizing the need for skin protection, body temperature regulation, transepidermal water loss, and proper hygiene. The team also recognized the need for hydration and proper handling, as well as the need for precautions in invasive procedures, prevention of pressure and puncture lesions, care in device fixation and use of antiseptics. The results of this study demonstrated the need for providing sensitive and risk-free care, thus promoting comfort and safety for these patients.

Complex multiple emulsions have an excellent ability to fill large volumes of functional cosmetic agents. This study was aimed to encapsulate large volume of green tea in classical multiple emulsion and to compare its stability with a multiple emulsion without green tea extract. Multiple emulsions were developed using Cetyl dimethicone copolyol as lipophilic emulsifier and classic polysorbate-80 as hydrophilic emulsifier. Multiple emulsions were evaluated for various physicochemical aspects like conductivity, pH, microscopic analysis, rheology and these characteristics were followed for a period of 30 days in different storage conditions. In vitro and in vivo skin protection tests were also performed for both kinds of multiple emulsions i.e. with active (MeA) and without active (MeB). Both formulations showed comparable characteristics regarding various physicochemical characteristics in different storage conditions. Rheological analysis showed that formulations showed pseudo plastic behavior upon continuous shear stress. Results of in vitro and in vivo skin protection data have revealed that the active formulation has comparable skin protection effects to that of control formulation. It was presumed that stable multiple emulsions could be a promising choice for topical application of green tea but multiple emulsions presented in this study need improvement in the formula, concluded on the basis of pH, conductivity and apparent viscosity data.
