Sun screens and lotions can be toxic?

You are here: Home / Articles / Sun screens and lotions can be toxic?

June 12, 2015 by Dr. Sean Medlin and Dr. Krystal Czegus

Too much sun exposure causes free radical damage leading to wrinkles and cancer cell growth.  However, an appropriate amount of sun exposure every day is one of the healthiest things you can do for your skin.  Your skin is an extremely absorbent organ.  What we apply on our skin enters directly into the bloodstream.  The majority of sun screens and sun lotions contain toxic chemicals that are harmful for the body.

The most damaging ingredients include sodium lauryl sulfates, parabens, oxybenzones, & padimate O.  These lotions contain chemical mixtures that have been proven to block UVA & UVB radiation exposure and prevent sunburn.  These chemical cocktails are now linked to serious health consequences including an increased risk of cancer.

Natural strategies allow us to optimize sun exposure without chemical toxins and boost our health.  All of these ingredients are highly toxic to our skin and bodies.  They produce rampant amounts of free radicals that create an excess of oxidative stress.  Oxidative stress is a potent carcinogen that causes genetic mutations.  These chemicals are highly estrogenic in that they mimic the effects of estrogen within our body and cause hormonal disruptions that increase cancer cell formation.

During our next post find out about natural sun screen protection that you will want to know about!!
