No one has proven that oxybenzone causes adverse effects in humans, but why

put it on your child and risk causing problems when natural alternatives are

readily available at your local health food store?

Remember children are much more susceptible to toxic effects of chemicals

than adults.

Sunscreen is a pet peeve of mine. I hate putting it on, and it seems so

unnatural. I use

Aubrey Organics' facial spray (10 SPF.) My kids usually wear the UV suits

that cover

most of their arms/legs so that I just need to do the areas that aren't

covered.

Here's why I am so grumpy about it, and I'd love to know more if there are

good studies

that fill the logical gaps for me!

They have studied the effects of sunburn on skin cancer, so, sunburn => skin

cancer,

and they have studied the effects of sunscreen on sunburns, so sunscreen

prevents

sunburn, but that does not necessarily mean that sunscreen is protective

against

skin cancer. In my opinion, this still needs study! Some of the sunscreen

products

might themselves cause cancer because of toxic ingredients?

Also, if you wear sunscreen constantly and then forget or miss a spot

*once*, you

are sure to get a burn, but if you are just normally out in the sun without

it, you will

probably have a tan but not burn easily. Which is worse?

I recommend that people get some tan, which is protective, from sun

exposure, which also ensures adequate vitamin D, but avoid burning by use of

natural sunscreens (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide), which cause no health

problems, covering up, or otherwise avoiding the strongest midday sun. My

personal favorite sunscreen is Lavera waterproof lotion, because it is

completely organic.

My dd makes life easy on this score - she won't have it on her! My own

personal feelings are that sunscreens are an invitation to fry because they

instil a false sense of security on how long you can safely stay outside.

It is important to get that sunlight into our bodies to make Vitamin D, and

I feel that if I just pay attention to how long we've been in the sun,

listen to my body, go inside for regular breaks or if I feel overhot and not

wait to develop sunburn, and cover the most easily burned areas with a

t-shirt, I'm fine. I firmly believe the chemicals in sunscreens are far

more dangerous than common sense exposure to the sun. Last I heard from

What Doctors Don't Tell You, an article on toxic toiletries said the jury's

out on whether titanium dioxide is a possible carcinogen and most sunscreens

have that in them.

Love, light and peace,

Sue

Titanium dioxide is not toxic according to EPA:

A. Toxicological Profile

Titanium is the eighth most abundant element in the earth's crust

and consequently spontaneously enters the food chain to some degree.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a major constituent of a number of minerals,

including rutile, which consists of 95% titanium dioxide. The most

commercially important of the titanium compounds, titanium dioxide

annual worldwide production is estimated to be appoximately two million

metric tons. Titanium dioxide is an opaque powder that is approved for

use as a colorant in food (21 CFR 73.575), in drugs (21 CFR 73.1575),

and in cosmetics (21 CFR 73.2575; 21 CFR 73.3126). It has an extensive

range of industrial uses (e.g., paint, paper, and plastics). Titanium

dioxide is currently exempt from the requirement for a tolerance when

used as a colorant in pesticide formulations (40 CFR 180.1001(d)).

A National Cancer Institute bioassay concluded that titanium

dioxide did not affect mortality, and was not carcinogenic at dose

levels of 25,000 or 50,000 ppm in rats or mice.

The World Health Organization Committee on Food Coloring Materials

has determined that no ADI need be set for the use of titanium dioxide

based on the range of acute, subacute and chronic toxicity assays, all

showing low mammalian toxicity, including a two year chronic feeding

study in mice which was negative for carcinogenicity. Indeed, titanium

dioxide is frequently used as a negative control material in in vivo

chronic dust exposure studies and in in vivo assessments of fibrogenic

potential of dusts.

How recently was this profile published, Dr Neustaedter? Whilst I have the

utmost respect for you and your knowledge, I don't have that much for the

WHO or EPA. After all, the WHO tells us that vaccinations are safe! I do

note, however, that you do not state that this is your personal opinion.

The article from WDDTY was published about six months ago, iirc. I will

wander off and check the references and post back. It was not definitely

cited as being carcinogenic - just open to question at that time.

Love, light and peace,

Sue

Please let me (and all of us) know what you find out about toxicology issues

re sunscreens. I do have utmost faith in the FDA (just kidding). I have

discovered in the past that intervientions we assumed were safe in the past

(e.g. TB tests) turned out to have serious adverse effects.

TB skin tests? Have not heard about this. Is this info on your website?
