They have no benzene and/or benzophenone, according to ConsumerLab.
Blue Lizard and Pipette are also good brands. For special occasions, I wear chemical sunscreen, which leaves no visible cast.
Are sunscreens dangerous? Yes - if you inhale or eat a whole tube in one day. The doze makes the poison - Too much oxygen will kill you. More than 2 people die of skin cancer in the US every hour. I have not heard of a single death from using sunscreen.
But what do I know… I only worked in cancer research for decades  There’s no excuse for not wearing sunscreen in Florida. Just do it. It pains me to see so many of my friends and neighbors getting diagnosed with melanoma and other skin cancers every year. |
Or, as another poster stated, you can just take "antioxidants" like "well informed healthcare professionals" while "believing in science"
It avoids the temptation to eat your tube of sunscreen.
Thank you for your cancer research, I hope it added to factual scientific and medical knowledge rather the populist Voo-doo that tends to get spouted out on social media.
