How do they promote cancer, I thought they worked to lessen the chances of it? (I'm curious, not arguing the fact)Also with the pollution thing, are organic ones available? I would have thought so, though I haven't looked into them that closely.
The research that the cosmetics industry will not allow for widespread consumption links an increase in skin cancer with the use of sunscreen products.
The chemicals in the lotions, although apparently harmless in the test tube, react with sunlight on your skin to turn into potent carcinogens.
Some of these have now been replaced but then those have not had adequate tests done ...
So best to avoid them. But I am also concerned about pollution to the sea from all these smothered bodies ...
Here are a few rapidly compiled links, but I'll look for some more later:
