1 Blue light is emitted not only by the sun, but also by screens (TV, computers, smartphones, tablets), electronics and lighting. This light radiation is known for its harmful effects on the health and beauty of the skin. Digital pollution is an emerging issue in cosmetics, given the increasing exposure to blue light produced by screens or LEDs.
