Histometric analysis of UVB-irradiated human skin biopsies after application of sunscreen and/or insect repellent or “combo” product. Skin samples (from the same donor) were treated with a sunscreen containing UV filters (panels d and e), or (panels c and e) a mosquito repellent containing the synthetic active ingredient IR3535, or a commercial preparation composed of a natural insect repellent and a sunscreen (f) (“combo spray”). Except in the control condition (panel a), skin biopsies were previously exposed to UVB irradiation under controlled conditions (300 mJ/cm2). Histological sections stained with saffron hematoxylin-eosin. Scale bar: 50 µM. Inset details show areas of interest with haloed nuclei (reflecting cellular damage) indicated by arrows
