Tanning lotion for... MICE?!?!

Mice With Tans? Eeeeeek!
National Geographic Kids
By Catherine Clarke Fox
            Scientists did not just make a lotion to make you tan just to look nice they made it to help prevent skin cancer. They made a lotion that turns a very pale skinned mouse into a very day skinned mouse. People with pale skin and red hair get sunburn more often and if you get sunburned too much in your life you could get cancer. Also pale skin does not make enough melanin. 
            I believe that this is a great break through that could save many lives in the future of course. The lotion might only be safe for the mice not actual human skin. I am wondering if this is 100% safe for humans or animals.
