Toxic sunscreen

[Insung]

I've read this article about toxic sunscreen

from this website

The Chemical Sunscreen Health Disaster

It talk about chemical substance like avobenzone

,which can find in many brand e.g. Neutrogena ,can cause

free radical lead to skin cancer.

Can somebody tell me the fact about this???

I can't tell you more about it, but that's why I try to stick to natural/organic skincare products. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are safer alternatives. MMU containing these ingredients do a good job.

Unless I'm going to be outside for extended periods, I don't wear "conventional" sunscreen.

are Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide the only ones minerals in MMU that do the sun screen job?

 

[KatieM]

I've read that iron oxides also provide sun protection. So darker the foundation, the better??

Hhmmm....I'm not a scientist, so I don't know the accuracy of this article, but I CAN tell that this website is for a specific product line. So...they are trying to sell their brand of products to you by saying everything else out there is bad. It may be and it may not, but I'd take what they say with a grain of salt. JMO...
