Be careful with sunscreens containing nanoparticles
 With such an appeal addressed to consumers, scientists international scientific community "Friends of the Earth." It turns out that the nanoparticles of titanium and zinc contained in Sun Protection means, do not increase their protective function, and on the other hand, may be a risk to health.

The scientists report it was stated that there is no evidence that nanomaterials in sunscreens improve protection from the sun. Ian Illuminati, one of the leaders of a group of scientists warned that even today very little about how nanoparticles are safe and effective.

Another environmental organization in the year 2007 stated that there is no correlation between the content of nanomaterials and sun protection, as well as the benefits of nanoscale UV filters outweigh the risks. The main risk is that nanoparticles penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, and their actions were not completely understood. Special risks are cases when the body is not very well, in this case the nanoparticles can act on the damaged tissue, and not always positively.

All reports are also expressed concern about not really study the effect of nanoparticles on the environment and also states that certain health risks are employees of companies that produce products with nanoparticles. It turns out that we can make the main conclusion is that - attentive to promotional offers and always read the label on the product.
