In my many years of working with Natural Health Therapies a dominant pattern has been a mainstay - "What is GOOD for the ENVIRONMENT is GOOD for US!" For decades I have been counseling clients to avoid chemical based sunscreens such as oxybenzone & octinoxate. Research shows that these chemical based sunscreen ingredients are hormonal disruptors and may lead to cell damage and potentially cause skin cancer. Not only are these sunscreen chemicals harmful to us, they damage aquatic life including the Coral Reefs! Shall we connect the dots... substances that are Harmful to Humans are usually Harmful to the ENVIRONMENT! Solution: use mineral based sunblock products, look for such ingredients as Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide.
Chemical sunscreens are a form of pollution. Pollutants are not only causing destruction of the natural world but are powerful co-factors in many of mankind most deadly health conditions.
