Abstract in brief

  • Benzophenone is a harmful compound linked to cancer and endocrine disruption, banned in food products but not in personal care items like sunscreen.
  • A study analyzed various commercial sunscreens from the US and EU and found that benzophenone concentration increases in products containing octocrylene over time.
  • The research indicates that up to 70% of benzophenone derived from octocrylene can be absorbed through the skin, raising potential health concerns.

Via ⁦@AmerChemSociety⁩ tl;dr - octocrylene, in many sunscreens, breaks down into benzophenone and absorbs through skin. Probably bad. Def don’t eat it. (my understanding - corrections welcome) https://t.co/dOQVzPTXy2

Main conclusion from this study: FDA must move forward on approving “new” UV filters that have been used for decades in the EU. The reason octocrylene is used so widely is that it stabilizes avobenzone, the only organic UVA filter allowed by the FDA atm https://t.co/B7I6R8kgzL

@kellydobos What's your opinion on this new study about octocrylene degrading into benzophenone over time? Should we worry about this? https://t.co/UNJwDt9jLY
