Consumer Reports Recommends Sunscreens That Seep Poison Into Your Bloodstream

All of the recommended products in Consumer Reports Best Sunscreens for 2019 report contain oxybenzone
A pilot study by the U.S. FDA shows four common active ingredients in sunscreen — avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene and ecamsule — are absorbed into your blood at levels that could potentially pose health risks
Systemic concentrations greater than 0.5 ng/mL were reached for all four products after four applications on the first day; 0.5 ng/mL is the FDA maximum threshold for waiving systemic carcinogenicity, developmental and reproductive toxicology studies for sunscreens
Of the 16 active sunscreen ingredients used in products on the U.S. market, only two — non-nano-sized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide — have been deemed safe for human use by the FDA. The agency recently proposed new regulations to ensure the safety and effectiveness of sunscreens
Despite the endocrine disrupting and neurotoxic effects of oxybenzone, its high absorbability, and the availability of safe sunscreens (those containing non-nano-sized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide), the FDA, American Academy of Dermatology and Consumer Reports urge people to continue using oxybenzone-containing sunscreen on a daily basis

Comment by Anti Everything on May 22, 2019 at 3:38pm: If I'm not mistaken, 30 years ago when I left my home state of California this was known. Later, it seems, there was a scare that some these lotions would self ignite while on the skin. I have come to understand how vitamin D is created from the sun through the skin using cholesterol that are found on the skin,...this process takes 3 days. Using soaps, body lotions, and the various other crap people are duped into using, kill all benefit our skin, and the sun, can offer us. I wonder how few people will stop using that shit even after they read about it's harm to people?
