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. Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are the safer alternative.
Why We Recommend This Product
