description: The use of sunscreen by the public, especially in Indonesia is quite popular. 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.
