Sunscreen is a topical product, such as a lotion, cream, or spray, designed to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering them, thus preventing sunburn and long-term damage like skin aging or cancer. In everyday modern life, it's evolved from a summer essential to a year-round staple, especially with urban pollution and climate change amplifying UV exposure.
