“WASHINGTON (May 24) — Almost half of the 500 most popular sunscreen products may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer because they contain vitamin A or its derivatives, according to an evaluation of those products released today. ”
AOL News reporting on study by researchers at Environmental Working Group.
“[O]nly 39 of the 500 products they examined were considered safe and effective to use.”
“may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop”
Goodness. I will take small comfort in knowing that I use one of the sunscreens in the “okay” list, though mine is on the non-mineral side and has “at least one sunscreen chemical considered to be a potential hormone disruptor.”
Huh. Good thing I never really used sunscreen. Long-sleeved shirts, hat, and pretty much have stayed out of the sun for the last ten+ years.
Trust no one.
Huh.
Seriously!
