title: Chlorogenic acid UVA–UVB photostability.
abstract: Chlorogenic acid is a natural potent antioxidant. It can be used in cosmetics formulations, but for this purpose its photochemical stability should be determined to ensure that the compound will not be degraded after UV radiation exposure. To evaluate this possibility, the concentration of a chlorogenic acid solution was determined by HPLC before and after UVA and UVB irradiation.The results indicate that chlorogenic acid is not degraded under UVA or UVB irradiation.
