CHINESE researchers have developed a new sunscreen that not only protects skin from UV damage but keeps skin cooler.
The sunscreen uses titanium dioxide particles, which are already used in some sunscreens to reflect light, but they changed the particle size so that it also reflects heat.
The sunscreen kept skin 6C cooler than bare skin and 3C cooler than existing sunscreens, while offering SPF 50 UV protection and meeting water resistance standards.
With a price in the same ballpark as other sunscreens, the researchers said their sunscreen prototype exhibits "promising commercial potential", especially with rising summer temperatures.
