My sister in California recently alerted me to the fact that one of our sunscreens that we bought at Costco contains a possible carcinogen that is absorbed into the skin called oxybenzone. It is a chemical sun blocker that harms coral. We decided to discard them into hazardous waste. The brand containing zinc pictured above is okay. Here is a good link with information on sunscreen.

Sounds dangerous! Hugs, Valerie
Thanx for the info
God bless.
It's very important to read what ingredients are in the products we use.
I bought the very same brand!!! Geeze. Louise is there anything safe anymore!!!!
You really have to be careful these days. Our kids, traveling in Japan, are getting some little toys and I worry what is in them.
They keep changing the rules on sunscreen ingredients. It's so confusing!
Thank you for the warning Christine and please thank your sister, too~
Thanks, Christine. Appreciate the good information.
Sounds dangerous! We really have to be careful!
I heard that on the radio last week.
Many thanks for alerting us to this.
We do need to be so careful.
All the best Jan

Thanks for posting this. I use Neutrogena too, but I have to have the one without fragrance for sensitive skin and luckily, that is not one of the ingredients.
