Sunscreen and skin cancer - EcoMerge

EcoMerge Project at Portland State University: Sunscreen and skin cancer

Sunscreen and skin cancer


There are over 150 toxic cancer-causing ingredients currently used in cosmetic products alone. According to federal law, products containing cancer-causing substances should carry a written warning. But the FDA does not enforce this law with cosmetics or personal care products. Consumers are left to purchase these products at their own risk, and as a result they are being harmed by them. The first sunscreens were developed to prevent severe sunburn in military personnel who spend long hours under strong and direct sunlight. There are ton of researches lately on the harm caused by sunscreen chemicals. These chemicals actually promote skin cancer. This product is causing the very condition from which it claims to protect people. The skin is not the only organ that is harmed by sunscreen chemicals. Those chemicals are absorbed by the skin, circulate throughout the body and end up harming the liver, the organ responsible for neutralizing chemicals in the body. The continued use of sunscreen products especially those with fragrance in them can lead to organ failure or liver cancer. Carefully what you put on your skin. skin is exchanging chemistry with the environment, and if you want to be a healthy individual free of toxic chemicals in your liver, heart, brain, kidneys and many other organs, it's time to stop putting cancer-causing chemicals on your skin. Throw out the junk cosmetics, skin lotions, creams, cleansers, shampoos, deodorants, perfumes, and all other personal care products that deliver a harmful dose of bad chemistry. http://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/ask-the-experts/does-sunscreen-cause-cancer
