Abstract: Compound formulations include gadusol or gadusporine that can be used as topicals, such as sunscreens or filters that protect human and animal skin against harmful light like UVA, and UVB, cosmetics, and skin care products. In some examples, gadusol or gadusporine are ?0.5% w/w, 0.5-2.0% w/w of the compound formulation. Other compound formulations include gadusol or gadusporine at >2.0% w/w of the compound formulation.

Abstract: Embodiments of sunscreen formulations are disclosed herein. In one example, a sunscreen formulation includes a) a physical/inorganic sunscreen active ingredient at from about 5% to about 25% on a weight/weight (w/w) basis, wherein the physical/inorganic sunscreen active ingredient generates a first sun protection factor (“SPF”) value to a sunscreen formulation; b) gadusol; and c) a plurality of ingredients configured to deliver ingredients a) and b) in the sunscreen formulation, wherein the gadusol is present in the sunscreen formulation in an amount sufficient to generate a SPF booster effect in the sunscreen formulation to provide an enhanced SPF value for the sunscreen formulation that is at least 1.5 times the first SPF value generated by the physical/inorganic sunscreen active ingredient when the physical/inorganic sunscreen active ingredient is present at a same amount in a formulation that does not contain gadusol.
