Chemical cocktail, anyone? πΉ Not the kind of cocktail you want to be thinking about sitting poolside!ββββββββββββββββπ Not only does chlorine diminish the protective qualities of sunscreens, but it chemically reacts with it to create 2 new dangerous substances. β οΈ Acetyl benzenes and phenols are released when chlorine meets avobenzone, an ingredient in most common sunscreens. These are the toxic chemicals that make humans sick. ββββββββββββββββπ€ Issues with the nervous system, liver and kidneys, infertility, weakened immune system, and cancer have all been linked with the combination of sunscreen and chlorine.ββββββββββββββββπ€οΈ When choosing a sunscreen, choose one that is mineral based without toxic chemicals in the ingredients. See our post from last week about safer options. ββββββββIf you're wondering how your sunscreen stacks up, check it out on www.ewg.orgββββββββββββββββπ https://www.ajc.com/lifestyles/active-ingredient-sunscreen-could-cause-cancer/KC9mEPVqbS9lDxkdcLnL1I/ββββββββ.ββββββββ.ββββββββββββββββ#wellrooted #functionalmedicine #holisticwellness #crystallakeil #holisticpediatrics #healthylifestyle #soakupthesun #vitamind #skincare #sunscreen #sunblock #healthyskin #skincancer #protectyourskin #naturalskincare #sunsafety Shared from //well-rooted pediatrics βββββββββββββββββββββPlease keep in mind, I am sharing this because there is so much value in knowing this Info, but keep in mind EWG is not the end all- be all.
