Diagnosis of sunscreen residue on skin with portable Raman microscope by Li, Yihan

“…Among the complex components in sunblock, Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is an important one due to its ultraviolet ray filterable ability. For the purpose of improving the performance of sun cream products, the popularity of replacing nano-sized titanium dioxide particles with normal TiO2 has increased rapidly, however, like many other technologies, nanotechnology offers both pros and potential cons, scientists have found that due to the nanoparticles’ (NPs’) enhanced physicochemical property, NPs are more active, thus they have greater opportunity to interact with cells and lead to certain cytotoxicity, may potentially damage skin and even able to diffuse into circulation system to induce skin cancer. …”
