Are all sunscreen safe?

[Gigi]

I have thrown out our sunscreens that contain Parabens.

They can cause miscarriages (and have).

You can buy organic sunscreen. I buy organic baby sunscreen for my child.

Parabens are in so many things we buy (shampoo, conditioner, makeup, moistureisers etc). I'm making a concerted effort to discover the brands that DON"T use parabens, it really scared me when i discovered they can cause miscarriages. Many people get SKIN IRRITATIONS from parabens!!! how crazy is it that manufacturers choose to put it in things we put on our skin!!!

"Parabens many be listed as -


Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, etc.. or it may be disguised with one of many names including trade names such as Germal Plus, Germaben II and Unigerm and the list goes on and on. For instance Germal Plus which contains 2 of the parabens plus a formaldehyde donor and Propylene Glycol (an anti-freeze agent)."
i would put the url, but that's not allowed on this forum, so you'll need to google yourself.



anything for a profit i guess. Sad isn't it? it would be nice to think that nothing dangerous would be allowed to be on sale. I don't really care how LOW the risk is, i've decided, i don't want to take that risk.
