Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Biocompatible and Sustainable Sunscreens with Enhanced UV Protection and Antibacterial Activity

Sunscreens play a critical role in protecting the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, including both UVA and UVB rays. Traditional inorganic UV filters, such as chemically synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂), have limitations regarding biocompatibility, cost, and sustainability. This study investigates the effectiveness of green-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) as an alternative, …
