A new sunscreen made using the pollen from Camellia flowers will not only block harmful UV rays from the sun, but will cool wearers down too, while also reducing the ecological impact of traditional protective suncreams, researchers claim.
Materials scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore, said that in experiments, the pollen-based sunscreen absorbed and blocked UV rays as effectively as commercially available sunscreens, which commonly use minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
