Sunscreen based

2023-04-17 05:42:01
Can the sunscreen have ingredients like benzophenone-3, octinoxate, all th se are safe to be used ? Having read on Google, they cause skin cancers since they penetrate into skim easily. Is it harmful? Can it be used ? It has suited my acne prone skin, but worried because of the ingredients. Are they harmful?

The penetration of these products have not been found concretely by any study. The amount used in sunscreens is also not carcinogenic. The amount and extent used on the body is also less, hence safe
