Abstract in brief

  • The use of sunscreens has increased due to awareness of risks like sunburn, photoaging, and skin cancer, with organic and inorganic filters being common ingredients.
  • Concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of organic UV filters such as oxybenzone, octocrylene, and octinoxate, which are found in water sources worldwide and are not easily removed by wastewater treatment, potentially harming marine life like coral reefs and entering the food chain.
  • Dermatologists should continue promoting public awareness of sun safety practices, including seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and using sunscreens responsibly, to balance skin health concerns with environmental considerations.]
