Sunscreen cream is a lotion or cream like cosmetic product that absorbs or reflects some of the sun"s ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thus helps protect against sunburn. The active ingredients work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering some or all of the sun"s rays.

Depending on the mode of action, sunscreens can be classified into physical sunscreens (i.e., zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which stay on the surface of the skin and mainly deflect the UV light) and chemical sunscreens (i.e., UV organic filters, which absorb the UV light).

SPF measures sunscreen protection from UVB rays, the kind that cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. For example, "SPF 15" means that 1⁄15 of the burning radiation reaches the skin through the recommended thickness of sunscreen. Other rating systems indicate the degree of protection from non-burning UVA radiation.

Europe, North America and China are the top regions regard of consumption share, with 24.9%, 22.6% and 20.4% respectively in 2019.
