Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecamsule

Also called Ecamsule (technical name terephthalylidine dicamphor sulfonic acid), Mexoryl SX is a synthetic sunscreen agent developed and patented by L’Oreal and used in the company’s sunscreen products sold outside the United States since 1993 (approved for use in Europe in 1991). Ecamsule affords broad spectrum protection against the sun’s UVB and UVA rays. Exposed to UV, ecamsule undergoes reversible photoisomerization, followed by photoexcitation. The absorbed UV is then released as thermal energy, without penetrating the skin. The UVB range is 280 to 320 nanometers, and the UVA range is 320 to 400. Ecamsule protects against UV wavelengths in the 290–400 nanometer range, with peak protection at 345 nm.[3][4] Since ecamsule doesn't cover the entire UV spectrum, it should be combined with other active sunscreen agents to ensure broad-spectrum UV protection. Ecamsule is a photostable organic UVA absorber, meaning it doesn't degrade significantly when exposed to light.

Originator

Curator's Comment: ECAMSULE (Mexoryl) was developed and patented by L’Oreal in 1982 and approved for use in Europe in 1991. To improve its UV coverage and photostability ecamsule has been formulated with avobenzone and octocrylene. This product is marketed in the US as Anthelios SX.

In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: The evaluation of photoprotection on in vitro reconstructed skin revealed good efficiency for Mexoryl SX (Ecamsule) preparation in preventing UVB-induced damage, as shown by SBC counting and pyrimidine dimer mmunostaining.The efficiency of ECAMSULE applied topically on the skin surface (2 mg/cm2) was assessed regarding specific damage resulting from increasing doses of UVB or UVA.
ECAMSULE applied topically on the skin surface - 2 mg/cm2
