"The best of the best! My husband sunbathed for five hours straight, and we applied it once just to check if it would help. We smeared only half of his back, now my husband is like a zebra 😂 It really helps and protects, 200%. We bought a matte one and it's just wonderful, my face doesn't shine anymore in the summer 😂 Thanks to the manufacturers.." —Aislu"So far, my FAVORITE facial sunscreen! It has a light blurring effect and a slight matte finish (much better than the sticky/oily consistency I find in American Sunscreen) ✨😌 It's perfect as a base for my makeup alongside my skincare, especially if you like silicone-based makeup over water-based. I've noticed a slight difference in the amount of SPF, as my skin is used to a higher SPF rate. Nonetheless, the effortless glide is perfect for mid-day touch-ups 😌 Highly recommend." —Amy"This is by far the best facial sunscreen that has a reasonable price tag that I've found. I like the matte finish. It doesn't leave you feeling greasy or heavy. I like the curve of the bar, so you can easily apply it to the curves of your face. Outside of dermatologist-recommended Isdin, this is the one I have found works best for me without breakouts and the price tag." —SnowByrd137
Grab it at this price while it's still on sale for Prime Day — it's $11.99 (typically $17.02; also available in a set with the glowy version).

Brandon Blackstock's death at 48 puts spotlight on melanoma
The death of talent manager and producer Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, at the age of 48, is shining a spotlight on melanoma. Dan Hollis, the Butte-Silver Bow County coroner in Montana, confirmed to ABC News that Blackstock's cause of death was natural and due to melanoma. Hollis also said Blackstock died at his home in Butte, Montana, on Aug. 7. The Blackstock family announced last Thursday that Brandon Blackstock had "bravely battled cancer for more than three years" and that he died "peacefully" and "was surrounded by family." Read on for more information about melanoma. Brandon Blackstock, ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson, has died, family confirms What is melanoma? Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that begins in the melanocytes, or the cells that produce melanin in the body, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is often caused by overexposure to ultraviolet or UV rays from the sun, sun lamps or tanning beds. Melanoma is considered to be one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer, according to a 2024 study published in the journal BMC Cancer, because it tends to spread to other parts of the body. The CDC estimates about 8,000 people in the U.S. die from melanoma annually. Skin cancer overall is the most common type of cancer in the U.S., according to the CDC. Woman shares warning after tiny mark on cheek turns out to be cancer Who is at risk for melanoma? The CDC notes that anyone can get skin cancers like melanoma. Certain people may be more at risk for melanoma, including older adults; people with a family history or personal history with skin cancer; people with lighter skin or skin that easily reddens, burns or freckles; people with blue or green eyes or blond or red hair; and anyone who has a history of sunburns or tanning. The importance of sunscreen Because melanoma is often caused by UV rays, the American Academy of Dermatology stresses the use of sunscreen as one way to prevent skin cancers like melanoma. The AAD recommends using broad-spectrum and water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, applying at least a shot-glass amount of sunscreen, and re-applying every two hours when outdoors, swimming or sweating. Additional ways to prevent skin cancer, according to the AAD, include wearing other forms of sun protection such as long-sleeved clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses; seeking shade, avoiding the sun midday when UV rays are the strongest; and avoiding tanning beds. How to screen for melanoma Some dermatologists recommend regular skin self-checks, especially for people who have a history or skin cancer. There is currently no standard guidance for skin checks, according to the CDC. The AAD recommends self-screening for melanoma by following the "ABCDE" method: Asymmetry: Look for any moles that are not symmetrical, or where half of the mole doesn't look like the other half. Border: Look for any moles with irregular, ragged or scalloped borders. Color: Look for any moles that vary in color, such as any with a red, white or blue color. Diameter: Look for any moles that are more than 6 millimeters in diameter, about greater than the size of a pencil eraser. Evolving: Look for any moles that have changed in any form or have started to itch or bleed. How is melanoma diagnosed? Doctors may examine any moles and look for potential signs of melanoma by using a magnifying dermatoscope or a visual aid device. Doctors will also likely take photos of any concerning moles and shave any concerning moles for a biopsy or tissue exam. How is melanoma treated? There are various treatment options for melanoma. According to the National Cancer Institute, doctors may treat melanoma with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, surgery or targeted therapy.

Common Food Bacteria 'Could Transform Nutrition and Medicine'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Common food bacteria could be rewired to produce more vitamins—and "help to transform nutrition and medicine." This is the discovery of scientists at Rice University who have revealed how a bacterium called Lactococcus lactis regulates the production of a key precursor in the production of vitamin K₂, which is important for bone health, vascular health and clotting factors that stop bleeding. The bacteria create enough of this precursor to support their growth while preventing toxic buildup. "Vitamin-producing microbes could transform nutrition and medicine, but we must first decode their inherent checks and balances," said paper author and biosciences researcher professor Caroline Ajo‑Franklin in a statement. "Our work shows how L. lactis finely tunes its internal supply of the K₂ precursor, allowing us to rewire it with precision." The method could improve supplements and fortified foods and make vitamins cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Digital 3D illustration of probiotic bacteria. Digital 3D illustration of probiotic microbes to overproduce vitamins provides a greener and more cost-effective alternative to chemical synthesis or extraction from plants and animals, the researchers said. However, bacterial cells typically limit their production to self-sustaining levels. By dissecting the control system for the vitamin K₂ (also known as menaquinone) precursor, the study authors have identified how "substrate availability" and "genetic architecture" impose a production ceiling and how those limits can be lifted. The study focuses on the "unstable intermediate compound" that channels all forms of vitamin K₂. "A vitamin K₂ deficiency usually manifests as a propensity for excess bleeding, bruising and potentially gastrointestinal bleeding," Ajo‑Franklin told Newsweek. "It can be particularly hazardous for newborns, who can experience intracranial bleeding. As a result, it is standard care in the United States for all babies to receive a vitamin K₂ shot at birth. "A vitamin K deficiency can be caused by insufficient consumption of fermented food (natto, sauerkraut, cheeses, etc.) and animal products like egg yolks, fatty fish, or diseases/conditions that impair the body's ability to absorb vitamin K₂ in the gut, like celiac disease, cystic fibrosis or extended use of antibiotics. She added: "Vegan diets can be low in K₂ unless supplemented." Closed up shot of woman's hand taking supplement capsule. Closed up shot of woman's hand taking supplement researchers used a three-prong approach in their investigation, including biosensing (a device that can detect biological substances), genetic engineering and mathematical modeling. They built a custom biosensor in a different bacterium to help detect the precursor—thousands of times more sensitive than conventional methods and requiring minimal lab equipment. Next, they used the genetic tools to alter the levels of enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway. By measuring precursor output under different conditions, they fed the results into a mathematical model of the pathway. At first, the model assumed an unlimited precursor supply, but predictions didn't align with laboratory results. "Once we allowed for depletion of the starting substrate, the model output matched our experimental data," said paper author and computational systems biologist Oleg Igoshin, study author in a statement. "It became clear that cells hit a natural production ceiling when the substrate runs low." Just overexpressing pathway enzymes did not increase output beyond the threshold, however, because precursor materials became limited. The researchers compared this to attempting to bake more cookies with extra baking sheets, but without enough flour. However, the order of enzyme-encoding genes on DNA also influenced precursor levels. They found rearranging these genes altered how much intermediate the cell produced, suggesting an additional layer of "evolutionary regulation" that has not been well understood. "By tuning substrate supply, enzyme expression and gene order simultaneously, we can push production above the natural ceiling," said paper author and biochemist Siliang Li, in a statement. This opens the door to engineering L. lactis or other food-grade bacteria to produce more vitamin K₂ in fermentation processes in probiotic formulations, the researchers said. L. lactis, Ajo‑Franklin explained, "is also a probiotic bacterium, meaning that it promotes a healthy gut. It is found in a variety of fermented foods, most notably cheese and yogurt." "We've figured out how to reprogram the cells to make more vitamin K₂ with the natural enzymes they produce. We discovered the cells are very carefully controlling the production of vitamin K₂ through two overlapping control mechanisms. With this understanding, we can now predict what changes we need to make to override that control. "Previous efforts were only partially successful because they didn't know about both control points." Ajo‑Franklin added that it could lower the cost of current vitamin K₂ production. "Additionally, being able to produce vitamin K₂ by bacteria allows you to make it wherever needed, whether that's in space or somewhere on Earth, far away from large manufacturing facilities." If vitamin K₂ is produced by bacteria in the gut, the researchers said there is a possibility of the absorption being more effective than standard vitamin tablets. With Vitamin C and vitamin B₁₂ both currently manufactured using microorganisms, the researchers said a similar approach might enable them to make higher levels of these vitamins too.
