Sunscreens leach up to 360 times more toxic chemicals into the blood than the FDA allows
Sunscreens leach up to 360 times more toxic chemicals into the blood than the FDA allows
- FDA investigators tested six of the main active ingredients in sunscreen lotions and sprays
- All of the chemicals had concentrations in the blood above the FDA threshold of 0.5 nanograms (ng) per milliliter (mL) of blood plasma
- Each ingredient was above the threshold seven days after sunscreen was applied and two were above the threshold 21 days after application
- One chemical at its highest level was 180.1 ng/mL, which is 360 times above the threshold
