Is sunscreen toxic?

[Matheus]

I remember stumbling upon a WebMD article which said that your skin absorbs harmful chemicals in the sunscreen but I can't find it anymore. I've been wearing it for years, especially when using tret. Given that I distrust most things from big pharma or whatever I wouldn't be really surprised.

The feds are keeping you from not getting sunburnt, they don't want good looking people so they age us faster. In all seriousness a common ingredient in most sunscreen is zinc and it's proven to have bad side effects, but I don't believe anyone will put enough sunscreen on to kill you or give you skin cancer.

Probably yes I'm just paranoid tbh with all those chemicals
