Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) such as TiO2 and ZnO are key UV-blocking ingredients in sunscreens. While toxicological risks of applying these materials are generally regarded as low due to minute levels of penetration across the skin, our understanding of the physiological influence of potential ce...
