Abstract

The present invention relates to ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic systems with blue light filtering and Yellowness Index ranges. UV and IR filtering are also included. Industrial applications are also outlined in the invention.

Claims (14)

1. A dermatological product that contains a filter that inhibits transmission of light having a wavelength in the 430+/−20 nm range; wherein the filter comprises a porphyrin dye, or a porphyrin derivative, having a Soret band, and UVA and UVB inhibitors.

2. The product of claim 1 , wherein the product is incorporated in a skin product, hair product, suntan product, sunscreen product, lip stick, lip balm, anti-ageing dermatology product, oil product, acne product, skin cream, skin lotion, or skin disease product.

3. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter inhibits 5-60% of light having a wavelength of 430+/−20 nm.

4. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter inhibits 5-90% of light having a wavelength of 430+/−20 nm.

5. The product of claim 1 , wherein the porphyrin dye or porphyrin derivative is selected from the group consisting of: diprotonated-tetraphenylporphyrin; magnesium octaethylporphyrin; magnesium octaethylporphyrin (MgOEP); magnesium tetramesitylporphyrin (MgTMP); magnesium tetraphenylporphyrin (MgTPP); octaethylporphyrin; phthalocyanine (Pc); porphin; tetra-t-butylazaporphine; tetrakis(2,6-dichlorphenyl)porphyrin; tetrakis(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin; tetramesitylporphyrin (TMP); tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP); zinc octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP); zinc tetramesitylporphyrin (ZnTMP); zinc tetramesitylporphyrin radical cation; and zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP).

6. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter further comprises a synthetic or non-synthetic antioxidant.

7. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter further comprises a natural or synthetic or derivative of a carotenoid.

8. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter is a synthetic or non-synthetic pigment.

9. The product of claim 2 , further comprising infra-red radiation inhibitors.

10. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter inhibits 5-90% of light having a wavelength of 430+/−10 nm.

11. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter is incorporated into PVA or PVB.

12. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter inhibits light by absorption, reflection, interference or any combination thereof.

13. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter is an organic or inorganic compound.

14. The product of claim 1 , wherein the filter further comprises lutein, zeaxanthin, melanin or any combination thereof.
