Ingredients to watch
Oxybenzone
highOxybenzone (benzophenone-3) is a chemical sunscreen that is absorbed into the bloodstream. The FDA has called for more safety data. It is a known endocrine disruptor and is toxic to coral reefs. Hawaii has banned it.
Fragrance
moderate"Fragrance" or "parfum" is one of the biggest red flags in personal care — a single term that can include up to 3,000 different chemicals without any required disclosure. Fragrance is the leading cause of contact allergy in cosmetics. Many fragrance compounds are skin sensitizers and potential endocrine disruptors.
Homosalate
moderateHomosalate is a chemical UV filter that is absorbed into the skin and bloodstream. The EU restricts its concentration to 1.4%. It has weak endocrine-disrupting activity.
