Sunscreen Chemicals May
Be Unsafe, FDA Reports The Food and Drug Administration
has said that sunscreen
chemicals may be absorbed
into people’s bloodstreams. A study in ‘The Journal of the American
Medical Association’ found that only cream
sunscreen met the FDA's absorption level limits. The FDA states that sunscreens with active
ingredients that absorb into the circulatory
system at levels greater than 0.5 nanograms
per milliliter are a potential risk. Despite the findings, sunscreen remains one
of the top methods of preventing skin cancer
and is still recommended for protection. The FDA suggests
avoiding sunscreens
with aminobenzoic
acid and trolamine salicylate.
