transparent sunscreen lasts a month or longer
Henna is keratin reactive which is why it lasts a month This idea is just attaching a UV absorbing molecule to an abbreviated form of henna to give a transparent keratin reactive sunscreen that lasts a month | |
Henna is keratin reactive actually forming a chemical compound at the skins surface which is why it lasts a month This idea is just attaching a UV absorbing molecule to an abbreviated form of henna to give a transparent keratin reactive sunscreen that lasts a month
easily described how though do
you actually come up with the molecule
well only part of the henna molecule is needed just the part that wikipedia says does the michael reaction to keratin Then attach that directly to a polywer like Bis (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate which is transparent Then you add a side group if necessary to keep it transparent
The notable part is actually finding a UV absorber that lasts a month there are plastics additives that last months yet a metallorgic based around Ce or Y might be physiologically beneficial
some of these long lasting plastic additives like Bis (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate are at the link
Creating a sunscreen around an metallorganic molecule We could use Ce Yttrium or Sn then earnestly prefer that it keeps absorbing UV while the decay products are at least likely to be beneficial to the human body
Monthlong sunscreens are also treatments that block skin aging more than 4/5 of which was associated with UV
I don't remember the names of the oranometallic chemicals that absorb UV nevertheless just attach the Ce Y Sn Ti metallorganic UV absorber to 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (henna) or just the Michael reaction part of that molecule then see if the nude mice like it
I think everyone has the right to be nude thus a monthlong transparent sunscreen is a high priority
long lasting blocks UV at plastics

[beanangel], that's seven ideas so far today for you. |

We have good friends who married just after us 20 years ago. He's from Scotland, and She's from Gerba Island off the Tunisian coast. |

At her traditional Henna party, he came dressed in his kilt! |

I think I oughtta start making worthwhile comments right away |
|
|
[+] for addressing the question of //how do you actually
come up with the molecule// However: many
organometallic compounds are seriously toxic. Sometimes
really, terrifyingly toxic. And a little cursory Internet
research suggests that it's not straightforward to predict how
toxic a novel organometalic compound will be. |

Don't forget to take your vitamin D supplements. |

|
.. wonderfully, excitingly, fascinatingly toxic ... |
|
|
//wonderfully, excitingly, fascinatingly toxic// I wonder how skin cancer would react? In any case more toxic than botulism which seems casually applied by the rich and vain? |
|
|
In any case (+) for a bean idea that probably won't bring about the end of all human life. |
|
|
[MisterQED] botulism is the disease; botulinum is the toxin. |
|
|
If you go by LD50 in micrograms per kilogram, botulinum is
more
toxic. On the other hand, 0.1 cc of Botox, would be about
the dose you'd inject in someone's eyelid, whereas 0.1 cc of
dimethyl mercury does this <link>. |

title: Henna Sunscreen? [+] |

It is precisely for the reason that everyone has a right to be nude that I would make the following addition to this idea: |
|
|
Exceedingly fat people (EFP) also have an appreciation for a good (safe) sun tanning experience, however, most of those EFP would not be caught dead on a beach wearing a thong, much less the suit they were born with. I would propose you add a sunscreen product that, when liberally applied to naked EFP, they don't look naked at all. This might accomplished with some sort of flat black (or other color) or perhaps after it dries it creates wildly colorful patterns on said naked EFP. |

And lest I forget: Bun! [+] |
