Abstract in brief

The study introduces a new method to optimize sunscreens so they protect against harmful UV rays (erythemal radiation) while still allowing enough UV to stimulate vitamin D production in the skin, especially for people with vitamin D deficiency.
Researchers emphasize the importance of the ratio between the effective radiation dose for erythema (Eer) and vitamin D production (EVD) as a key factor in evaluating sunscreen quality, particularly at various SPF levels.
Experiments show that specially designed sunscreens can significantly enhance vitamin D synthesis by increasing the conversion of 7DHC to previtamin D behind the sunscreen, compared to commercial sunscreens with the same SPF.]
