Talk:Photoprotection

please leave damage to the human body (not cells)Gerriet42 (talk) 15:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC) Should included non-UV and non-human photoprotection. This entry seems controversial in it's treatment of sunscreen. I don't think it is universally accepted that sunscreen users have more melanoma than nonusers. Other points seem debatable as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.58.199.112 (talk) 04:40, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The alleged correlation between sunscreen use and increased risk of melanoma is not supported by any given citations and are not substantiated by peer reviewed works. On the contrary the American Academy of Dermatology has made a continued point to reiterate "the safety and effectiveness of sunscreens to protect against the damaging effects from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.(AAD, SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (May 16, 2012)". Legitimate concerns of oxybenzone use do exist, such as the NOAA observed connection to coral bleaching. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.packett (talk • contribs) 17:42, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We should consider bringing in microorganisms into this article, with a subsection on carotenoids as they serve as photoprotective pigments in numerous microorganisms. Elvegaro (talk) 11:06, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
