The main focus of this science project will be to test how much of the potentially harmful chemicals in sunscreens get from your skin into the water at different intervals after sunscreen application. We can use this information as a proxy for how eco-friendly or reef-safe the products are. Environmental Working Group (n.d.). The trouble with ingredients in sunscreens. Retrieved February 16, 2023. Chemical sunscreen uses different active ingredients. These can include avobenzone, homosalate, octocrylene, and octisalate. When chemical sunscreen is applied, these chemicals penetrate the skin. Once there, they absorb harmful UV radiation and transform it into non-damaging radiation or heat, as shown in Figure 3 on the right. Because the UV-absorbing chemicals need time to penetrate the skin, it is important to apply chemical sunscreen at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. One benefit of chemical sunscreens is that they do not leave a white layer on your skin like mineral sunscreens do.

To calculate the absorbance, use Equation 2 from the Introduction. Record the results in your data table. To fill the applicator, you need to simply unscrew the main body from the top section.
