Sun protection developed from recycled fish bones
A team of researchers at Portuguese Catholic University in Porto has developed an effective new sunscreen derived from recycled cod fish bones.
Portugal scientists have made the new sunscreen by treating cod bones.
Various tests revealed the good photo stability and a UVA-to-UVB ratio even greater than 0.90, which means that the production has proved to be a comparable protection against both UVA and UVB radiation.
The naturally derived sunscreen was tested on 20 human volunteers who had a small quantity of the cream applied to an area of their skin for 48 hours and showed no adverse allergic reaction.
