Well just as with EVERYTHING else...we have to be cautious with sunscreen! Briefly I will cover the basics on how to choose a sunscreen.
AVOID these ingredients:
Oxybenzone-a synthetic estrogen that penetrates skin and contaminates the body
Vitamin A- eating vitamin A is good for you, spreading it on your skin may not be. New data shows that tumors and lesions develop sooner on skin coated with vatamin A. It is listed as "retinyl palmitate" on ingredient labels and is in 41% of sunscreens.
LOOK for these ingredients:
Zinc, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, or mexoryl sx
Top sunscreens: All Terrain, Badger, Beyond Coastal, California Baby, Caribbean Solutions, Desert Essence, Jason Natural
Bad sunscreens: Ocean Potion, Panama Jack, No-Ad, Neutrogena, Hawaiian Tropic, Coppertone, Banana Boat, Bull Frog
