Research at Swansea University has discovered that UV protective algae could be used as a sustainable alternative to sunscreen. The natural products, found in the sea, have a high absorbance of damaging sun rays.
The researchers found that algae have their own process of protecting themselves against the damaging ultra-violet rays. 
With increasing evidence that some of the synthetic sunscreens are quite harmful to the environment when they wash off in the sea, it is expected that algae based sunscreen products could have high demand in the near future.
