May 7, 2019 (CNN) The FDA is calling for research on sunscreens. After finding out where
common ingredients end up in your body. |
|
For decades, sunscreen has been as a super-sealant to help protect your skin from harmful
UV rays.
Researchers have found that several of sunscreen’s common UV blocking chemicals are
seeping into your bloodstream at levels high enough to trigger a government safety
investigation. |
|
This research supports the FDA’s calls for more safety data on sunscreen’s chemicals.
The four chemicals studied, avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and octocrylene,are part of
a dozen that the FDA recently said needed to be researched by manufacturers before they
could be considered “generally regarded as safe and effective. |
