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
Raw Elements combines the safest sunscreen chemistry (non-nano zinc oxide) with the most sustainable packaging (recyclable tin). The non-nano zinc oxide is important — nano-sized particles can penetrate skin more easily than non-nano particles.
