- Abstract
Harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) including sunburns, DNA damage, photocancerogenesis and photoaging are well proven. Simultaneously, UVB is strictly responsible for vitamin D synthesis, which occurred to play multiple important roles in human organism. Knowledge of harmful effects of UVR resulted in recommendation of the use of sunscreens. Theoretical ability of sunscreens to completely/totally inhibit vitamin synthesis in epidermis raised a wide discussion in literature whether sunscreen use can impose/cause harmful effects on human health. In the article, literature review and various controversies as well as distinct opinions on the subject are presented.
