Article Synopsis
- Melanoma, mainly caused by UV radiation from the sun, can be prevented using sunscreens, but synthetic options can harm the environment.
- This study highlights the potential of essential oils (EO) derived from plants for their natural photoprotective and anti-cancer properties, presenting a more eco-friendly alternative.
- Results showed that nanoemulsified essential oil (NE-EO) was effective in providing photoprotection and had higher cytotoxic effects on melanoma cells compared to non-cancerous cells, indicating its promise for melanoma prevention and treatment, although more research is needed.
