Sunscreen is the cosmetic product that most agree should be a staple in everyone's daily routine. Many choose their sunscreen based on two criteria; texture and the SPF number on the bottle, not considering the most integral part to the product's efficacy, which is the ingredients themselves. Not to mention, the toxic load of each formula.
Benzene, a known carcinogen typically found in fragrance, has been found in 69 sunscreens, including chemical and mineral formulas. A recall request has been issued.
