Description

Chemical based sunscreens can damage not only our skin but also our organs, as it’s absorbed into our tissue and bloodstream
Besides the human damage, they also harm the planet
Over 12.000 tons of sunscreen go in the ocean every year, destroying marine life and bleaching coral reefs

Some of the potential health risks of chemical sunscreens include:
– Hormone disruption, mimics estrogen and raises risk of breast cancer
– Allergic reactions
– Oxybenzon and Octinozate are the most dangerous chemical agents on sunscreen
– Bioaccumulation in tissue and organs (bloodstreams)
– Also found in mother’s milk, reaching even the unborn
– Oxybenzone is pegged for lowering thyroid hormone
– Shaving may increase the absorption of chemicals
– Failure to biodegrade in the environment
– Free-radicals can cause cancer and pre-aging
