Health and beauty reasons underlying the popularity of the use of sunscreen products. This further fueled by increasing public awareness on the dangers of UV radiation of sunlight that the intensity at last decade more higher. It has been widely demonstrated that UV radiation of sunlight can cause sunburn (tanning effect to the skin), premature aging such as the appearance of dark spots and wrinkled skin, melanoma and non-melanoma skin, and cancer. Among the active particles are often used in sunscreen products as UV radiation filters are particles of TiO2 and ZnO based nano size. Along with the development of nanotechnologies, sunscreen products are also diversified, often combined with cosmetics. This paper aims to disseminate to the public, especially in Indonesia about how the characteristics of nanoparticles TiO2 and ZnO in sunscreens, the effectiveness of the particle as a barrier to UV radiation, and the dangers that can be caused by excessive use of the product.}, url = {http://eprints.uny.ac.id/11411/}, keywords = {sunscreen, nanoparticle, TiO2, ZnO, UV radiation.} }
