Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a topical product, such as a lotion, cream, or spray, designed to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering them, thus preventing sunburn and long-term damage like skin aging or cancer. In everyday modern life, it's evolved from a summer essential to a year-round staple, especially with urban pollution and climate change amplifying UV exposure.

The ancient Egyptians were pioneers in sun protection, using natural pastes made from rice bran, jasmine, and minerals like alabaster around 2000 BC, which is over 4,000 years before modern formulations. Today, the global sunscreen market is projected to reach $14 billion by 2025, driven by increasing awareness of skin health and environmental factors.
