Numerous developments in the medical profession are attributable to nanotechnology. Due to their promising action, nanoparticles have always been the main focus when it comes to silver and its biological synthesis. These nanoparticles’ primary field of use is medicine, where studies have examined how these particles’ size and shape affect bacteria, fungus, and other species. Using AgNPs as chemopreventive agents in sunscreen creams is one way to employ them. It is crucial to develop novel materials to shield the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation and preserve the body’s largest and most extensive organ, the skin’s homeostasis. To ensure maximal sun protection, it is crucial to utilize skin care products with active sun chemopreventive ingredients
