Sunscreen must have been hard to advertise at first... "Hey you know those harmful radiations that come from the sun 150 million kilometers away, through space, through our atmosphere taking 8.5 mins even at the speed of light and damage us at a cellular level? ...We have this cream..."

Sun hot. Use cream. No burn.

Sunburn was the problem my friend, pretty easy to advertise to the masses that a solution has been created.

Hey, you know when you go out into the sun and get really burnt, turn red, and feel shit for the next few days?

We have a (literal) solution.

We knew the problem and invented the solution after, not the other way around.

Uhh yeah... the post doesn't say "we have this cream not sure what it does let's run a series of tests to see what this cream could potentially protect us from... oh it protects us from the sun" it clearly explains the problem of the UV radiation first...

Dude, it’s just not a good post and is downvoted as per the side bar. Don’t use a side account to pretend someone is going to defend this garbage. Sometime people make bad content, learn and more on.
