Research suggests the harmful effects of UV rays are more dangerous, so here’s what you can do to protect yourself safely.
Sunscreen is regularly touted as one of the top ways to block the sun’s harmful rays, but a new
suggests those creams and sprays don’t just sit on top of your skin—some of the ingredients get absorbed into your bloodstream., the research looked at six common sunscreen active ingredients: avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and octinoxate. In a randomized clinical trial done over a 21-day period with 48 participants, researchers examined absorption levels of four sunscreen products—including lotion, aerosol spray, non-aerosol spray, and pump spray. No matter which type of product was being used, participants applied the sunscreen to 75 percent of their body surface area, with varying rates of reapplication for four days. Blood samples were collected both during the sunscreen usage and for over two weeks afterward.
Their findings? All six active ingredients were absorbed into the bloodstream of participants, even without regular reapplication., a surgical oncologist at John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California. He toldthat the porous nature of the skin allows ingredients to “sink in” all the time, with everything from anti-aging serums to moisturizers.
But when are those ingredients considered harmful? That’s a tricky question. For example, the sunscreen researchers acknowledged that the study does have some limitations, which are its setting and usage. Participants were indoors—rather than in the sun—and they used a maximum amount of sunscreen.
