Abstract

The role sun filters in cosmetics that protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation is to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Nevertheless, recent studies indicate a paradoxical increase in sunlight-induced skin cancer, which is referred to as the “sunscreen paradox.” The study aimed to provide an answer to the question regarding the factors that contribute to this phenomenon and whether the legitimacy of sunscreen use will be doubtful in light of such results. An analysis of the current literature was conducted. The obtained results were surprisingly unexpected, which prompted the author to undertake further research and an indepth analysis of the results based on available sources. This is due to the possibility that the need for sunscreen could be questioned.
