    An acute damage of ultraviolet rays on skin, which was called sunburn, had already known in the ancient times. In recnt years it was reported that the phenomenon was resulted from direct DNA damage by UVB and that its action apectrum was in UVB. Furthermore the immunosuppression was shown to be elicited by UV. In addition to acute responses, chronic response by UV were called photoaging. Photoaging incloudes skin cancer, malignant melanoma, wrinkles, pigmented apots and sagging. They are induced by accumulation of DNA damages and generation of lipid peroxides and radicals by repeated UV exposure. However we don't know in detail which wavelength elicit these changes. In order to prevent our skin from photodamage, we have to take care of our life style, to wear hats and wears, and to apply sunscreen on our skin.

    A lot of organic UV filters have been developed to increase its safety and functions. organic UV filters have to be approved by the Minister of HMLW to use cosmetic. Recently, only very safe organic UV filters are used for sun care formula by improved photo chemistry and cosmetic manufacturer's requirements. The latest organic UV filter, “Dimethico Diethylbenzalmalonate” approved in 2005, has Polysiloxane backbone. Safety and photo-stability of this new organic UV filter is excellent. Compatibility of this material with solvent of cosmetics is also satisfactory therefore it is a promising organic UV filter as next generation.

    Radiationless transitions play a key role in the action of UV absorbers which attenuate the transmission of the solar UV rays to the skin by absorbing the radiation (sunscreen) and prevent polymers from photodegradation caused by UV light (polymer photostabilizer). In this article, mechanistic aspects of UV absorbers, especially the mechanism of the energy dissipating processes in the excited states, have been reviewed, and a guideline for the design of new UV protective agents is presented.
