My team and I have created a children’s book that educates on the importance of skin protection and the dangers of skin cancer. We are donating $25,000 of our gross proceeds to Cure Search. Please support us and our cause by purchasing a copy for your child. Preview here:

An old topic, but….

No, chemical filters are organic, mineral filters are inorganic.

Is there hard evidence that wearing sunscreen prevents cancer? I know wearing sunscreen prevents sunburns, and sunburns are associated with skin cancer, but please point me to research that specifically follows people who wear sunscreen and people who do not and conclude that the sunscreen wearers have less cancer. I know that would be a difficult study to do, but if you’re going to say “wear sunscreen to prevent cancer,” there should be some science behind it. At a population level, it’s not all that clear: people have worn more and more sunscreen since say the 60s, but have more and more cancers. Also, there’s so much in the news about phytoestrogens in our environment – we have no idea really what they do in all these cosmetics, including sunscreens, which we are supposed to slather on every day from birth to old age.

Guys, there are studies at pubmed (pubmed.gov) where you can read that chemical sunscreens do cause some kinds of cancer. Also, why would you put a chemical sunscreen on if it turns in free radicals, as it is instable. zinc oxide and titanium dioxide aren’t. The only thing is that zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are so opaque, when you put it on your face, you’ll look like a ghost, even the so-called nano-sized types.
Haven’t found a good fysical sunscreen which is available in Europe… there’s not much choice here in fysical sunscreens :S
