Abstract: A sunscreen made by combining organic or inorganic matter, such as rose petals, leaves from various plants, cardboard, or combinations thereof, with a carrier, such as a lotion or cream base, that has no physical blocking component of ultraviolet rays on its own. The combination or mixture results in no chemical reaction of the components and can be separated back into its original components. The leaves or other products of plants, by coalescing or overlapping in a carrier, physically block the rays of the sun with a higher concentration of these elements causing a further coalescence of the pieces providing a higher SPF and greater sun protection. These particles of plants or other materials simply block the rays much like a window shade blocks sunlight.

Abstract: A shock reducing helmet includes a helmet body made of an outer and inner shell, ear openings, and face shield or visor that connects flush to the helmet body. The outer shell is formed from the strongest and lightest weight materials, such as polycarbonate, or other plastics, Kevlar, carbon fiber, or metal, to provide a high strength to weight ratio and minimize fracture. The inner chamber includes shock absorbing structures made from materials such as a nickel-titanium shape-memory alloy, polycarbonate, other plastics, Kevlar, carbon fiber, or metal. Some variants have a viscous or gaseous layer around the springs to increase stability upon linear and rotational impact. The face shield or visor is made of a clear polycarbonate that connects flush with the outer shell to eliminate visibility interference and rotational injuries caused by competitors pulling the metal bars commonly present in football helmets.
