Sunscreens - what are you really putting on your skin?

4:30 PM | Posted by healthyhomeguru
We all know how important sunscreens are to prevent skin cancer... however recent research indicates not only that most DO NOT protect against harmful UV rays, but they may contain chemicals that affect our hormones (oxybenzone or 4-MBC), damage the skin and in some cases, actually increase the rate of skin cancer.

About Nicole Bijlsma

I am a building biologist which in short means I conduct audits of people’s homes to see if they are affecting their health. Previously I worked for 15 years as a naturopath and acupuncturist and lectured extensively at various institutions before realising the extent to which the home was causing illness in many of my patients. I am the founder of the Australian College of Environmental Studies and author of Healthy Home Healthy Family. In my blog, we’ll explore issues relating to hazards in the home.
