Chemical cocktail, anyone? 🍹 Not the kind of cocktail you want to be thinking about sitting poolside!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
πŸ‘Ž Not only does chlorine diminish the protective qualities of sunscreens, but it chemically reacts with it to create 2 new dangerous substances. ⚠️ 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. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
πŸ€’ 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.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🌀️ 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. ​​​​​​​​

Please 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. Always research each Ingredient individually and use the banished ingredients list pinned at the top of this group. If you need an alternative feel free to comment and I will happily let you know what I use.
