Recent progress in the production of lignin-based sunscreens: A Review

Technical lignins are becoming an attractive natural, renewable, and non-toxic ingredient in sunscreens, having the capability for replacing synthetic compounds. Researchers have reported that lignin can increase solar protection factor (SPF) of sunscreens provide sun to body creams. However, achieve valorization fabrication personal care products, it is necessary overcome several challenges related their molecular complexity unattractive color. Fractionation, chemical modification, whitening, particle size reduction, synthesis nanocomposites copolymers strategies development lignin-based sunscreens. This paper summarizes analyzes previous research studies outstanding findings (from 2016 2022) directed at reduction problems limit extensive applications skincare products such as
