I never said all sunscreens. The ones that aren't organic are suspect and toxic. If you have been wearing sunscreen for 20 years everyday, you're living in peril and a survivor,... so far. There's plenty of information on the internet about the dangers of sunscreen. This is because of the chemicals in the sunscreen. Here are a few of them.
Oxybenzone: This ingredient is one of the most commonly-used sunscreen chemicals. Oxybenzone is linked to endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, contact allergies, and photo-allergies, meaning exposure to light is required to generate an allergic response. This ingredient, sometimes called benzophenone-3, is not to be confused with benzophenone, another common sunscreen ingredient.
Oxybenzone is also harmful to aquatic life. This chemical is so harmful that in 2018, Hawaii banned it to protect coral reefs.
Octinoxate: A commonly used UV filter that protects from UVB rays, but not UVA sun rays. On packaging, it may be listed as OMC, methoxy-cinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxy-cinnamate.
Octinoxate is linked to endocrine disruption by an abundance of data, as well as to reproductive toxicity. Researchers have detected this chemical in breast milk, urine, and blood. Like oxybenzone, this ingredient was targeted in Hawaii’s ban, as it harms coral reefs.
Homosalate: A common sunscreen ingredient that absorbs UVB rays to prevent direct skin exposure. Homosalate absorbs UVB rays only.
This ingredient is linked to hormone disruption and it may also enhance the absorption of pesticides, including bug sprays. It may also enhance the penetration of other harmful ingredients found within the formulation. This ingredient is persistent in the environment, meaning it doesn’t break down readily.
Nanoparticles: Nanoparticles can be 1000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. In sunscreen, they’re most commonly found as nanoparticle titanium dioxide of zinc oxide.
Nanoparticles have not been properly assessed for their potential effects on human or environmental health. Researchers don’t yet understand the impact they could have. But because of their infinitesimally small size, nanoparticles may be more chemically reactive and therefore more bioavailable, meaning the particles are fast-tracked into the body.
Researchers have suggested that nanoparticle titanium dioxide may be implicated in coral reef degradation.
I’ve never seen a study that shows that using sunscreen causes any endocrine system issues. I’m open to reading any info you have about it tho as I have a vested interest.
You’re just being silly saying that me and the other 100k mailmen (minimum, not to mention other outside workers) that wear sunscreen every day are “survivors” lol
Here’s hundreds of studies on the effects of using sunscreen so it should be pretty easy for you to find one that proves your point. I’ve never been able to find one
I did a internet search using "Sunscreen, toxicity" and found lots of information. You won't have any difficulty finding information on this. It's actually well known.

Look, no one said that putting sunscreen on is going to suddenly make you drop dead. The absorption of these chemicals over time can cause health problems such as cancer though. Your skin is an organ that takes in light and other things from the environment and also is part of the excretory system. Your skin needs to breathe. Think of the girl in the movie Gold Finger. Just know that your skin absorbs far more than you may realize. Will it be able to process these toxins out of the body or is it stored in fat cells? Aging often brings these things to front and center healthwise.
"Isn't accurate or fair"?
