Skincare in the Sun Safer sunblocks

Some natural healthcare specialists worry about the negative effects of repeatedly applying sunscreens containing chemical UV-light “sponges” over large areas of skin. These estrogen-mimicking chemicals have been detected in urine and breastmilk after application. Check for and avoid sun screen and makeup that contain the following ingredients: benzophone and azobenzone, PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) and PABA esters, cinnamates, and nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
