What are the Toxicological Concerns with Sunscreen?
Toxicological concerns include potential allergic reactions, hormonal disruptions, and skin irritation. Some studies have suggested that certain chemical filters may penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, raising concerns about systemic exposure and potential toxicity. Furthermore, the environmental impact of sunscreens, particularly on marine ecosystems, is a growing toxicological concern, prompting the development of reef-safe sunscreens.
