Not all sunscreens are safe! There are TWO on the market that are safe, chemical free, and don't contribute to skin cancer.
In all, 84 percent of the 831 sunscreens EWG tested did not pass health
and environmental muster. Many contained potentially harmful chemicals
like Benzophenone, homosalate and octyl methoxycinnamate (also called
octinoxate), which are known to mimic naturally occurring bodily
hormones and can thus throw the body’s systems out of whack. Some also
contained Padimate-0 and parsol 1789 (also known as avobenzone), which
are suspected of causing DNA damage when exposed to sunlight.
Furthermore, EWG found that more than half the sunscreens on the market
make questionable product claims about longevity, water resistance and
UV protection.
