Octocrylene
Octocrylene is an active ingredient in many chemical sunscreens; that ingredient alone has significant long-term effects on the body. Every organ system we have is essential to maintain its function as the years pass by. The Food and Drug Administration has been educated through articles being published on the testing of health risks of the ingredients in sunscreens. This has given the FDA the ability to mandate that corporation adhere to improved business practice based on the proof of science.
Octocrylene breaks down into Benzophenone; while we need more research to understand the consequences of Benzophenone exposure through sunscreen fully, Haereticus Environmental Laboratory states that Octocrylene breaks down into Benzophenone, a hormone disruptor, is also being an endocrine disruptor, affecting thyroid function as well as inducing anti-androgenic activity, delaying testicular development and causing anatomic difficulties with female reproductive organs. This specifically is harmful and doesn’t serve a purpose that is healthy or protect the public. The solution of these finding are clear, remove the problem.
