Embodiment 7

[0034] The flaky cellulose obtained in embodiments 1-6 shows good anti-ultraviolet capability in UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB (280-320 nm). FIG. 2 is the UV-VIS reflection spectra of the flaky cellulose of embodiment 1. The flaky cellulose shows a reflectivity up to 85% against UVA and more than 50% against UVB, and almost total reflection against visible light. The 50 g of flaky cellulose is used for replacing common sunscreen additives such as nano titanium dioxide, octyl methoxycinnamate, benzophenone-3, etc. to be added to ingredients of the cosmetic ointment matrix formula: 100 g of white vaseline, 250 g of liquid paraffin, 1 g of mint, 50 g of dimethylcyclosiloxane, 50 g of dimethyl siloxane, 100 g of glycerin, 2 g of sodium bisulfite, 2 g of sorbic acid, 140 g of emulsifier and 1000 g of distilled water. The content of the cellulose is 5%. The sun protection factor (SPF) value of the prepared cosmetic is higher than 30. The sunscreen cosmetic has sunscreen effect due to the reflection of the flaky cellulose against ultraviolet ray, which belongs to a mechanism of physical sunscreen, and has good capability of covering skin blemishes due to total reflection within the range of visible light. In addition, as a cosmetic additive, the flaky cellulose gives fine and smooth feel during use due to flaky morphology, better than other granular cosmetics. The sunscreen paint can be prepared by adding the flaky cellulose into the paint by the weight ratio of 10%, which can also be made into a film as a sunscreen film. Besides, the flaky cellulose can be added into the fabric to make sunscreen clothes and textiles.

It can be seen from the above figures that although the size of the obtained flaky cellulose varies due to different raw materials of the cellulose, the reflection of the flaky cellulose against UVA, UVB and visible light is slightly different. The ultraviolet reflectivity of the flaky cellulose obtained in embodiments 1-6 is much higher than that of titanium dioxide nanoparticles, as shown in FIG. 3.

For those technical personnel in the field, different forms of other variations or changes can also be made based on the above description. The embodiments are not exhaustive herein.
