@Josie

As stated in the article, most sunscreens contain carcinogens. So you are coating your body with substances known to cause cancer.

You are also blocking Vitamin D production.

@Trenton They are giving out health advice on Cracker Jack boxes these days? I had no idea! Is that in addition to or instead of the prize inside the box? Silly me, I was just looking to other sources, such as the Environmental Working Group (EWG.) According to their Skindeep database, all the sunscreens I listed above (Aubrey Organics, Soleo Organics, and Badger) received the lowest-risk rating available for cosmetics.

Your review of sunscreen products is seriously flawed. It would appear that you have found your sunscreen research from a Cracker Jack box! Aubrey’s natural sunscreen DOES contain a toxic and harmful ingredient – PABA, Padimate O. This ingredient should be avoided more so than other sunscreen ingredients. Do your research!

@Dave C

I used to use Coppertone Sport. But I quit using it once I did more research and realized that I’d rather get the sunlight than cover my body in chemicals.

(My bottle of Coppertone Sport lists numerous chemical ingredients, much like all the other traditional sunblocks. That’s why I quit using it.)

I’m using Coppertone’s Sports Sunscreen. Living in S. Texas and riding from 10-4, I think it’s a requirement. What do you think about Coppertone’s stuff?

CHEERS!
