Validation of a lipopeptide approach to a safe-and-sustainable-by-design strategy on TiO nanoparticles UV filters.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) are well suited for cosmetics and polymer films because they efficiently absorb UV light while remaining transparent to visible light. Their widespread use requires strategies for managing potential human and environmental risks. Implementing the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) methodology to advanced chemicals and materials is a major global challenge and a concept that is included in several EU research projects.
