Sunscreen is applied to large areas of skin and often reapplied multiple times. Chemical sunscreen filters (oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone) are absorbed through the skin and detected in blood, urine, and breast milk within hours of application. Oxybenzone has been found to disrupt hormones at concentrations found in human blood. Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are the safer alternative.
Why We Recommend This Product
Badger's zinc oxide sunscreen is the gold standard for safe sun protection. Zinc oxide sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays — it is not absorbed into the bloodstream. EWG has rated Badger as one of the safest sunscreens available for multiple consecutive years.
