Wearing sunscreen is important to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation but doesn’t cool people off.

The prototype sunblock kept human skin up to 11 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius) cooler than bare skin, or around 6 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) cooler than existing sunscreens.
