This special edition on sunscreens traces the development of sunscreen agents, assesses their safety profile based on clinical and toxicological studies, and explores current trends in public perception and usage behavior. Differences in sunscreen indications based on skin tone and the regulatory disparities affecting sunscreen filter availability across geographic regions are also included in this special edition.
