What if you never had to worry about painful sunburns or sun damage ever again? Well, that’s what researchers are suggesting with their new super cream and it’s all based on synthetic melanin. It’s a hyper-regenerative cream, one that both protects skin while healing it at the same time.

00:18time the cream is being developed by scientists at northwestern university and they say it could

00:23revolutionize the skincare industry it works by trapping what are called free radicals or

00:28electrons that are not bound in a pair they're naturally occurring but toxic however our bodies

00:33have an enzyme system which deals with them quite well still at the point of an injury like say a

00:37sunburn many more free radicals are produced and the body might not be able to deal adequately on its

00:42own sometimes leading to skin cancer melanin is one way our body deals with those free radicals but

00:48the new synthetic melanin engineered nanoparticles are much better at it with the researchers saying

00:53about their new cream quote the synthetic melanin is capable of scavenging more radicals per

00:57gram compared to human melanin it's like super melanin it's biocompatible degradable non-toxic and clear
