The increasing need for sun protection and personal safety has led to innovations that combine skincare with security features. A key question in this study is how multifunctional sunscreen can simultaneously enhance both skin health and user safety. Previous research has focused on the environmental impact of chemical sunscreens (Danovaro et al., 2008) and the effectiveness of personal alarms in emergencies (Smith, 2019) separately, lacking an integrated approach. Accordingly, this study develops Sunver, a sunscreen stick using SPF-formulated, reef-safe ingredients (Sayre et al., 2005) and a built-in alarm. In light of this, experiments to evaluate Sunver’s UV protection, waterproofing, and buzzer audibility were conducted. Ultimately, findings proved the efficiency of protection against UV damage while being audible at distances of up to 100 meters, offering a practical and eco-friendly solution for not only reducing sun-related skin damage and diminishing the possible risks of worrisome assault but also encouraging sustainable communities worldwide.
