What's Lurking in Your Sunscreen?

Hello Everyone,

Just off the presses at Naturalnews.com are the latest findings regarding the threat to your health from your sunscreen.

Just today I was out in the garden planting a few veggies for later on this summer and found myself working up a sweat. Almost instantly I thought, perhaps I should get my hat on. The sun is hot even though it's only 72 degrees.

What the Center for Disease Control has related is that 97% of Americans are contaminated with
oxybenzone, a widely used chemical found in sunscreens. Oxybenzone is a penetration enhancer which is present to help other chemicals penetrate the skin. Thus far oxybenzone has been linked with allergies, hormone imbalances, low birth weight in babies whose mother's have used it. When exposed to sunlight, oxybenzone forms free radicals which cause aging and cancer. So the topical sunscreen you're using is actually promoting your skin's aging. How's that for irony.

Thanks once again to the Food and Drug Administration for being so watchful for us, once again.

Folks, you cannot count on "them" any longer, but you must begin trusting your own good sense and knowing.

Some brands that are known to contain oxybenzone are: Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic and Coppertone as well as many, many facial moisturizers.

Read those labels! And make sure you're using something that is absolutely pure, safe and beneficial from the get go. Cast your votes with your dollars.
