Re: Sun and skin damages - what would you recommend?
Post 8
I'd go for a sunblocker, that is based on physical, rather than chemical UV-mitigators.. that means: titanium dioxide (good).
It's worth checking the ingredient list against this list of known/highly suspected allergens. These chemicals are extraordinarily common and it can be safely said, that they are officially highly suspected of doing bodily harm.
Some of these may sound natural and therefore "innocuous", but they are not:
"Allerg[en]ic perfumes to be declared in cosmetics according to EU-regulation:
(As of July 2006)
Alpha-isomethyl Ionone
Amyl cinnamyl
Anise alcohol
Benzyl alcohol
Benzyl benzoate
Benzyl cinnamate
Benzyl salicylate
Butylphenyl methylpropional
Cinnamal
Cinnamyl alcohol
Citral
Citronellol
Coumarin
Eugenol
Euvernia prunastri (Oakmoss) extract
Evernia furfuracea (Treemoss) extract
Farnesol
Geraniol
Hexyl cinnamal
Hydroxycitronellal
Hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxyaldehyde
Isoeugenol
Limonene
Linalool
Methyl 2-octynoate"
and all aromatic oils, especially tea tree oil. Fragrances are generally (highly) allergenic, too.
