Sunscreen & UV API
Sun-safety maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the burn-time, SPF and reapplication numbers a sunscreen, weather or outdoor app keeps people safe with. The burntime endpoint estimates how long until sunburn from the Fitzpatrick skin type (1 very fair to 6 deeply pigmented), the UV index and the SPF: unprotected time is a skin-type base (type II around 15 minutes) scaled by 6 ÷ UV index, and protected time is that times the SPF — so fair type-II skin at UV 8 burns in about 11 minutes bare, or roughly 5½ hours under SPF 30, while very fair type-I skin in extreme UV 11 burns in 5 minutes. The spf endpoint flips it: the SPF needed = your desired minutes outdoors ÷ the unprotected time, with the reminder that real protection plateaus around SPF 30–50. The amount endpoint covers the part people get wrong — about 2 mg/cm², roughly 1 ounce (30 g, a shot glass) for a full adult body, reapplied every two hours — and totals the sunscreen for a day out. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for sun-safety, weather, skincare and outdoor app developers, UV-alert and reminder tools, and wellness software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Educational estimates, not medical advice. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints.
