. These ingredients absorb and neutralize the heat generated by ultraviolet rays from the skin
. Some potential negative effects of sunscreen ingredients include:
- Allergies : Some people may experience allergies to certain ingredients, such as fragrances, preservatives, oils, and botanical extracts
. Signs of an allergy may include swelling, extreme itching, or a blistering rash
- Hormone disruption : Some sunscreen ingredients, such as oxybenzone and octinoxate, are systemically absorbed into the body after one use and have been linked to hormone disruption
- Environmental concerns : Some sunscreen ingredients, such as oxybenzone and octinoxate, have been studied for their potential detrimental effects on coral reef ecosystems
To minimize potential negative effects, it is recommended to look for sunscreens with broad-spectrum protection, fragrance-free and essential oil- free formulas, and stick to mineral sunscreens like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide
