RESUMEN
In this work, we analyzed the advantages of using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized with natural extracts in ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) protective cream. The photodegradation properties of the new UV-Vis protective milk show an increase in its absorption band compared to AgNP-free cream. Previous to the study of the AgNPs mixed within the body milk, we studied the optical UV-Vis properties of extracts at different collection times, as they can influence the spectral range of UV-Vis absorption of the hybrid compound (AgNPs + natural extract). Shape and size of the AgNPs differs from the type of reducing agent as well as the concentration of silver nitrate used. We also compared the cytotoxicity in cell lines and the antibacterial effect of the AgNPs without and with organic coating. All these studies showed that we obtained hybrid sun-protective body milk with a high degree of solar protection and with low cytotoxicity at a cellular level, thus improving its protective properties. The synthetized hybrid compound could be a possible cost-affordable alternative for the market.
