Hi there,

Doing an EPQ is amazing and great for university applications! It's also great that you've found a topic you're interested in! An EPQ requires a literature review so I recommend the best place to start would be to research sunscreen and the current literature around it, try using Google Scholar for this! Identify what it is specifically that interests you about sunscreen. Is it advertising of sunscreen, reduce risk of skin damage, the formulations of sunscreen, issues faced by hospitals related to sunburn? This could help you find your EPQ topic question, for example you could explore: Should SPF be compulsory to stop skin damage? Should SPF be free?

I hope that helps! Good Luck!
