Have made my own sunblock since 1991. 7:2:1 measured in volume for coconut oil: beeswax: zinc oxide.
But found it was really only useful if we were gonna spend all day in the sun. Mostly we go without.
Also, that stuff is very good to prevent nappy rash, and healing small injuries.
Yes, that is one of the reasons we don't really use a block.
The sunblock I made all these years was only used when we didn't want to burn. Spending 1/2 an hour a day in the midday sun, with bare skin exposed, is all good.
Thanks. If I don't put sunscreen on my face my rosacea flares. Right now I use EltaMD.
I use Biden Block sunscreen. just stay in the basement until I am told I need to make a public appearance.
Seems like Skittles is being sued over it? Ah, no says titanium dioxide.
All I know is if I spend an hour outside in the sun with no sunscreen for an hour, I'm sure regretting it later.
Isn’t it interesting that skin cancer rates went up right at the same time as doctors started pushing sunscreens? I’ve been proactively avoiding sunscreens for years after doing a ton of research. We need sunlight, just like we need vitamin D that comes from it. Basically, whatever the “experts” recommend - do the exact opposite.
They found benzene to be in a ton of other products too. And that have no real plausible explanation to the source of contamination
Me either. I'm just a rebel against anything everybody else buys. I never used any lotion or oil. But it helps that I tan and don't burn.
This is a stupid meme and the worst kind of misinformation.
Benzene is not an intended component in any sunscreen on the market. If it's there, it's a byproduct of the manufacturing process and they didn't get clean enough samples of the materials to pass FDA inspection. Anyone who has any experience with organic chemistry knows that it's not like Minecraft. It's not A + B = C. It's A + B = a whole list of possible major and minor products produced in various percentages that depend on a ton of factors from temperature, time, humidity, solvent quality, to the age and purity of the reagents you used. Benzene isn't difficult to make, and it's stable, so it is difficult to remove. Now, all manufacturing processes would be designed to reduce any unwanted products to below safety thresholds. Exactly how that gets done can be a really long discussion depending on what's being made and the demands for purity of the end product.
When the FDA does inspections, they simply see what's there. If they find more than some allowable threshold, you get this kind of message. 16 ppb (parts per billion) when the threshold is 15 ppb, and they can shut down your production line. Meanwhile, the harm that such a thing would translate to if it made it into your bottle of sunscreen is so small that it likely couldn't be measured. Typically, they don't even recall the products. Sometimes, it's merely a voluntary recall for something like this.And after their shitshow decision-making with the Abbott baby formula plant making baby food hard to come by, one would hope they'd show some intelligence and proper risk assessment before screwing with the sunscreen market during the height of summer. In this case, the company voluntarily recalled to protect its reputation and brand, which is good and which happens 99% of the time when errors like this are found.
Without numbers or context, we have no idea what this was, other than sensationalist headlines meant to scare the shit out of people and promote your regular level of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. These are the same people that tell you that eating 3 strips of bacon a day will cause you to get cancer.
The media will say bacon is unhealthy, and California puts a sticker on almost everything to say it may cause cancer. Meanwhile they don't say a damn word about water fluoridation. The establishment, and media often miss the mark make something else out to be the boogie man while ignoring the real threat lurking in the shadows. In other words the media like to pretend like they're looking out for everyone's health by demonizing some rather benign chemical, and it also tricks people into thinking well the other chemicals in the product must be okay.
It's a shell game, and benzene might be the target for their fear driven marketing campaign, but that doesn't mean sunscreens are harmless, especially the aerosol ones which always seemed suspect to me. The aerosols ones contain the most benzene, and breathing in any amount of that chemical concoction should be avoided at all cost.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Makes a lot of sense. I myself prefer not to use sunscreen as well and prefer to wear hats of under strong sun or out for a long time. But usually just au naturelle
Just because one brand causes cancer, that doesn't mean the sun doesn't.
Lol extra points
"was found inside"
Translated:
"We knew it was inside because we put it there, there's just enough coverage on cancer causing bs that we have to suddenly "discover" that this was inside"
Only on there hair and scalp products and on certain batches of that product.

Don't be fucking stupid. Skin cancer is real, and sunscreen is effective. You can easily tell by the fact that you don't get fucking burned. Now granted, the modern avobenzone crap has it's own risks. I use the titanium dioxide / zinc oxide stuff. It goes on like white paint, and it never "disappears" but it works, and it's basically just mineral dust so I'm not worried about the safety.
My sunblock is a tan and if that's not enough I cover up with clothing or go inside.
It has been discovered it likely is the cause of vitamin D deficiency in our population.
You are supposed to get sun.
Ha ha
This doesn't mean sunscreen gives you cancer!!!
It means benzene gives you cancer
Mineral sunscreen or no sunscreen for me, and I’m fair skinned. It only took me 30-some years to figure out that my skin is sensitive to chemical sunscreens, and that’s why I would always burn no matter what. Now? No burns all summer. Not once. I just have a bit of a tan.
I think the point may have been missed I’m not making claims of use of sunscreen I’m showing the bullishit that gets printed as the so called “experts” just wing it. Let’s replace sunscreen with eggs and do the same thing you can’t eat eggs you can eat eggs it’s all a mind fuck
Zinc oxide, the main ingredient in sunscreen (as well as makeup, creams, etc that offer sun protection) kills skin cells.
