Chinese researchers develop sunscreen that lowers skin temperature by 6 degrees Celsius

Chinese researchers at Tsinghua University have developed a new sunscreen that can lower skin temperature by up to 6 degrees Celsius. This product provides protection equivalent to SPF 51 for 12 hours against UV radiation. The sunscreen is waterproof, making it suitable for outdoor workers exposed to extreme heat. The researchers highlighted its potential for commercial use in the sunscreen market. The study, published in Nano Letters, emphasizes the need for effective cooling and skin protection as climate change increases extreme weather conditions.
