To protect our skin from the sun’s harmful rays, sunscreen is a must.
However, not all sunscreens are created equal. Many of them contain harmful substances that can damage our skin and the environment. Here are some of the most common harmful substances found in sunscreens. If you see any of these toxic chemicals listed as ingredients, it’s best to put the sunscreen back.
Oxybenzone is a crucial sunscreen ingredient to avoid, as it is often found in chemical sunscreens and is considered the most toxic.
As an UV light absorber it is found in many sunscreens. It has been linked to coral bleaching and can cause damage to marine life. Oxybenzone can also be harmful to humans as it can penetrate the skin and potentially disrupt hormones and is potentially of greater harm to children.
Another common UV light absorber found in sunscreens, octinoxate has also been linked to coral bleaching and can harm marine life. It decreases corals’ defenses against bleaching, damaging their DNA and hurting their development.
In humans, it can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation.
Octinoxate has been detected in human urine, blood and breast milk, which indicates that humans are systemically exposed to this compound.
Octocrylene is a common ingredient in chemical sunscreens and anti-aging creams.
Manufacturers worldwide use octocrylene as an additive ingredient in skin care products and cosmetics. It can help protect the skin against UV radiation and also has emollient properties.
However, the ingredient may cause side effects, such as allergic reactions.
Octocrylene: This chemical is used to stabilize other UV light absorbers in sunscreens. It has been found to produce free radicals that can potentially damage cells.
It is harmful to the environment and can cause damage to coral reefs.
4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor is a chemical sunscreen agent that protects in the UVB range. Regarding its safety, we do not have the best news. Two possible concerns are that it absorbs into the body and might have some estrogenic activity there and it is known to be harmful to the environment and can cause damage to coral reefs.
Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a compound found in milk, eggs, grains, and meat. It is best known as the active ingredient in sunscreen. PABA has been used to improve discoloration in skin and hair and to ease digestion.
A once-common sunscreen ingredient, now avoided due to allergic dermatitis and photosensitivity. Research indicates PABA has carcinogenic potential.
Here’s the biggest name on the naughty list: parabens.
Parabens are preservatives commonly used in cosmetic products. They are highly used as effective preservatives in many products, including shampoos, moisturizers, tanning products, makeup, and toothpaste.
Parabens have been linked to skin irritation, causing rashes, blisters, and burning skin, particularly in those with allergies. Additionally, parabens are harmful to the environment, as they have been found to kill coral and have been detected in bodies of water. They can also contribute to the spread of viral infections among coral reefs.
When it comes to studying the labels of your products the names to look out also for are butylparaben, methylparaben and propylparaben.
Avobenzone is a common ingredient in chemical sunscreens, but it may not be very effective on its own. In fact, sunlight can cause it to break down if it doesn’t have another chemical to stabilize it, making it easier for the sun’s rays to penetrate your skin.
Homosalate is a chemical commonly found in sunscreens and several products containing SPF. It’s used in chemical sunscreens because it can absorb ultraviolet (UV) rays, effectively preventing them from reaching your skin. However, in June 2021, the European Commission released a statement deeming homosalate unsafe in concentrations higher than 10%, thus recommending that only 1.4% be used in sun-blocking cosmetics.
Dioxybenzone, or Benzophenone-8, keeps sun care cosmetics from deteriorating by absorbing UV rays. According to one study, dioxybenzone can disrupt endocrine production.
When the chemical ensulizole makes direct contact with sunlight, it can produce free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that steal the electrons of nearby cells. This can lead to DNA damage, nerve cell injuries, and other health issues.
A new ingredient of emerging concern that is being added to even ‘natural’ sunscreens to achieve a higher SPF rating. A synthetic ingredient that helps to disperse both mineral and chemical sunscreen actives, butyloctyl salicylate is considered a class 4 chronic aquatic toxin.

Revolutionizing skincare with sustainably sourced ingredients
Incorporating traditional remedies into skincare products can provide unique benefits to the skin while supporting local communities and promoting sustainable ingredient sourcing practices. By working together towards a common goal, we can create a more sustainable future for everyone while providing effective skincare solutions rooted in tradition. By working directly with these communities and supporting their traditional knowledge, we can help preserve their cultural heritage while promoting sustainable sourcing practices. This includes paying fair prices for materials and ensuring that communities are involved in the production process.
