THE TOXICITY OF SUNSCREEN

Dr Mercola's comments about sunscreen................
"Toss your sunscreen in the trash if it contains any of these chemicals I consider to be potentially harmful."

* Para amino benzoic acid…
* Octyl salicyclate…
* Avobenzone…
* Oxybenzone…
* Cinoxate…
* Padimate O…
* Dioxybenzone…
* Phenylbenzimidazole…
* Homosalate…
* Sulisobenzone…
* Menthyl anthranilate…
* Trolamine salicyclate…
* Octocrylene

Then add the Octyl Methoxycinnamate aka PABA and lanolin. (Glycerin too, if you're allergic or have sensitive skin)


"Harmful chemicals such as dioxybenzone and oxybenzone are some of the most powerful free radicals.

So if your sunscreen contains dioxybenzone, oxybenzone, or any of the other chemicals I just revealed, I highly recommend you switch to a formula that is safe and healthy for your skin.

And a note to moms … You are undoubtedly very conscientious about caring for your children. But when you lather up your son or daughter with sunscreen thinking you’re doing the right thing, you could in fact be doing more harm than good.

So check the labels on your sunscreen, and throw them out if they contain any of the potentially dangerous chemicals named above. After all, your skin is your largest organ, as your child’s skin is theirs".



THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS
EVERYTHING ELSE HAS LANOLIN OR GLYCERIN OR BOTH (GLYCERIN IS AN ALLERGEN) IT'S A FILLER BY-PRODUCT FROM SOAP MAKING(SAPONIFICATION) ADDED TO PRODUCTS. IT'S NOT NEEDED.GLYCERIN CAN FLARE UP ECZEMA SYMPTOMS IN THOSE WHO HAVE IT ALREADY.
