Q: Can my sunscreen actually be increasing my risk of cancer?
A: Unfortunately, yes. After reviewing over 2000 sunscreens and more than 257 brands, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that more than 75% contained toxic chemicals. Oxybenbzone and methoxycinnamate are two toxic ingredients commonly found in sunscreens that disrupt hormones and increase the risk of cancer. However, there are safe alternatives that do not contain toxins. For more information, resources, and links to purchase safe alternatives, visit my website at DrDanniCares.com.
