Most chemical sunscreen filters are made up of small particles that absorb into the skin. These include ingredients such as oxybwnzone, octinoxate, octocrylene and homosalate. Whereas, physical sunscreens contain ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which contain larger particles that safely sit on the skin’s surface.
Studies over the last daycare have shown chemicals in sunscreens can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, hormone disruption and skin damage when the sunlight interacts with sunscreen chemicals.
