Sunscreen info

This is a prime case of the fine print taketh away.

Make sure you read the labels of everything you put on your body.


Did you know there are chemicals used in sunscreens that absorb easily through your skin and...
Act like the female hormone estrogen, disrupting your body’s hormone balance;
Are linked to breast and skin cancers;
Injure your DNA;
Interfere with the production of thyroid hormones;
May contribute to male infertility

They’re called parabens, and you’ll find one or more of them in almost every sunscreen on the market.
Too much sun may be hard on your skin, but sunscreens are a case of “the cure may be worse than the disease.”  And for years you’ve been told to spread them all over your body...

Here are the other chemicals, that I am aware of that are in sunscreen, to avoid.
Para amino benzoic acid
Octyl salicyclate
Avobenzone
Oxybenzone
Padimate O
Dioxybenzone
Phenylbenzimidazole
Homosalate
Sulisobenzone
Menthyl anthranilate
Trolamine salicyclate
Octocrylene
