Like most things, sun protection products find their origin in antiquity, where a variety of plants and minerals were used on skin, to reflect UV rays, such as calcite powder and clay – like the white minerals, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, found in modern sun creams. Widely used in the cosmetics industry as a component of perfumes, benzyl salicylate works by absorbing, or filtering out, UVB light, the radiation that causes the skin to burn. In 1974 Franz Greiter, Austrian chemist and founder of Piz Buin, introduced the term ‘sun protection factor’ or SPF, which is a formula to determine the fraction of UVB light that will reach the skin over time. For example, if a person were to burn without sun protection after 5 minutes of sun exposure, SPF 10 would protect the same person in the same exposure for 50 minutes. Eugene Schueller, the founder of cosmetics giant L’Oréal, was a fair-skinned chemist with a penchant for sailing. Failing to devise himself a successful formula to combat his frequent sunburn, he tasked the chemists of L’Oréal laboratories with the job.
Nevertheless, the French Riviera would be the setting for the birth of the first commercial suntan lotion. ‘The French Riviera’, Southern Railway poster, 1928. Credit: National Railway Museum/SSPL By the 1930s sunbathing had become a popular pastime for pleasure seekers. Some have credited Coco Chanel with starting a trend for tanning, after she got accidentally sunburnt in 1923 on a cruise to Cannes. Among the most effective reflectors against UVA radiation are minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The latter has been produced in huge quantities by the chemical industry since the early twentieth century as white pigment for paint.Once-a-Day, UVA, UVB, spray, oil, cream, non-greasy, SPF, high, low, absorbent, reflective, sport, vegan, bronzing, water resistant, anti-aging; from Gwyneth Paltrow’s favourite to Aldi’s own brand…
