Influence of formulation of ZnO nanoblokes containing metallic ions dopants on their cytotoxicity and protective factors: An in vitro study on human skin cells exposed to UVA radiation

Application of ZnO nanoparticles in sunscreens exposes human skin with their adverse effects, which correlates to dissolution/translocation of free Zn+2 ions. The possibility of decreasing solubility and therefore, reducing toxicity, by structural modifications have been discussed as a solution. The...
