The sun care market continues to grow year over year, and several reports show a growing trend of ‘sunxiety’ – anxiety related to sun exposure – among consumers.1 Many consumers are worried about getting skin damage and feel unrelaxed when exposed to the sun.

The ozone layer serves as a natural barrier, protecting us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun (Figure 1). Its degradation has resulted in elevated levels of UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
While the Montreal Protocol implemented in 1989 successfully regulated the majority of ozone-depleting substances, the full restoration of the ozone layer remains a long-term process. In the meantime, heightened UV radiation continues to pose a significant risk to skin health.
