avoid using sunscreen and aerosol

EWG suggest you avoid using SPF containing sunscreen spray and aerosol because it is too capacitive. Easy to accidentally inhale and/or miss a stain. The report says that people may breathe in the ingredients of Sunscreen Spray and take some ingredients that are applied to the lips, so they are not harmful to the lungs or viscera. In the past few years, some brands have entered their shame halls, including banana boats, Copperton and cvs.

The reason is that Sunscreen SPF only means that it filters the UVB rays that cause sunburn, but it is not guaranteed to block UVA rays, which can cause skin damage and/or cancer, especially if you stay outside all day, because you think you can do it.

In addition, their report indicates that products with high SPF need higher concentrations of sunscreen chemicals [such as benzophenone] than products with low SPF. Some of these ingredients penetrate into the skin and may pose a health risk, which is related to tissue damage and potential hormone damage.

chemical sunscreen Finally, EWG recommends that you skip chemical sunscreen. According to Matthew Miller, a dermatologist in Greenville, South Carolina, some chemical sunscreens may interfere with the normal function of hormones. In fact, 80% of chemical sunscreens contain benzophenone, which may mimic estrogen in the body. Instead, wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and long-sleeved shirts and pants, or choose EWG's top products: sunscreen containing zinc and/or titanium. & Dr Miller said: "These minerals are physical blocks that exist on the surface of the skin and prevent ultraviolet rays from penetrating the skin."
