Sunscreen was an ointment used for many centuries by Humans to protect themselves from sunburns.
In 2374, prior to the O'Brien family trip to Golana, Miles O'Brien inquired about the location of the sunscreen, only to be informed by his wife Keiko that she had already packed it. (DS9: "Time's Orphan")
Also that year, Odo reminded Julian Bashir to take plenty of sunscreen on his trip to Casperia Prime. (DS9: "Inquisition")
Reginald Barclay's nose was covered in sunscreen while he visited the beach in 2377. (VOY: "Inside Man")
During an away mission to the Cosmic Duchess in 2382, Lieutenant jg Brad Boimler obsessively applied sunscreen despite it being unnecessary under the cruise ship's artificial sunlight, out of paranoia about his safety. Later, he used the slippery lotion to evade Admiral Milius's acolytes and free Jack Ransom and Andy Billups from their manacles. (LD: "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel")
