We developed a mineral (ZnO) #sunscreen that reduces white cast, described in bit.ly/ZnOTet25 ACS Materials Letters @pubs.acs.org & bit.ly/ZnOtetUCLA by @uclahealth.org & bit.ly/WH26sun by Women's Health Magazine. Led by AJ Addae, collaborating with Profs. Justin Caram & Yogendra Kumar Mishra

Flame-Synthesized Zinc Oxide Tetrapods for Photoprotection in Sunscreen Formulations

ZnO nanoparticles are widely used in sunscreen formulations due to their strong light absorption in the ultraviolet (UV) and ease of synthesis. Here, we explore flame-synthesized tetrapod-shaped zinc ...
