Bathing Does Not Facilitate The Human Skin Penetration Or Adverse Cellular Effects Of Nanoparticulate Zinc Oxide Sunscreens After Topical Application

To the Editor, The regular use of sunscreen products protects against sunburn, photo-aging and skin cancer (Waldman and Grant-Kels, 2019). A recent Australasian Sunscreen Summit recommended that sunscreens should be applied daily when the UV index is expected to be 3 or more to decrease future skin cancer incidence (Whiteman et al., 2019). However, although Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, only 55 percent of Australians believed it was safe to use sunscreen every day (Cancer Council Australia, 2017).
