Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a well‐known factor that causes skin aging. Recently, with the development of technology, the skin has been exposed to not only the UV radiation but also the blue light from electronic devices.

In this study, we searched for candidate materials that can inhibit blue light–induced skin aging and found Caesalpinia sappan extract (CSE) to be effective.
