Summary
A lotion made from an enzyme found in sea organisms, including ocean algae, has shown potential to repair sun-induced skin damage that can lead to skin cancer, according to Dr. Karyl L. Thomas M.D. German scientists studied the effect of this enzyme on volunteers who had been exposed to UVB light, revealing a significant decrease in DNA damage where the lotion was applied.
