Both types often absorb the radiation and release it with less energy (e.g. as heat); however, some of the radiation can also be reflected. Both organic and inorganic UV-blocker can be contained in nanoform. From the first group, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/nanopartikel.info\/en\/knowledge\/materials\/organic-uv-blocker\/\"><span class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_d2114d3c2d81167116e17039c00f7144\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>MBBT<\/span> and <span class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_0866857ce6d178b0c02d121bdfde17e8\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>TBPT<\/span><\/a> as organic compounds but as insoluble nanoparticles that absorb UV light. <a href=\"https:\/\/nanopartikel.info\/en\/knowledge\/materials\/titanium-dioxide\/\">Titanium dioxide<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/nanopartikel.info\/en\/knowledge\/materials\/zinc-oxide\/\">zinc oxide<\/a> belong to the group of inorganic UV-Blockers.
