Lately I've come across a few articles that have caused me to question my former faith in sunscreen. So can we talk about sunscreen for a minute? What we know and what we're learning: Chemical Sunscreens are both unstable and unsafe, especially those containing oxybenzone (unless you like your hormones good and disrupted). Nanoparticles are no picnic either, and they have no place in mineral sunscreens masquerading as safer alternatives.
