ABSTRACT
Throughout history, a variety of methods have been used to protect
the skin from the sun. From ancient ointments to modern
sunscreens, they have been developed to prevent acute and
chronic skin damage caused by solar radiation. In the 19th century,
ultraviolet radiation was discovered, since then more compounds
have been developed to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation
and visible light. As the understanding of sun protection advances,
it is hoped that more effective and safer options will be developed
to preserve the health and appearance of the skin.
