Ingredient
Benzophenone-3
Caution
What is this ingredient, what does it do?
Chemical UV filter (controversial)
What is it, what should you do?
A chemical sunscreen filter. It was shown to be able to enter the bloodstream through the skin and its hormone-like effect is debated; for this reason the EU lowered the permitted concentrations. It is NOT a reason to give up sunscreen (sun damage is certain, the filter risk is uncertain); but if you have the choice, creams with new-generation filters or mineral (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) creams are a more comfortable pick.
Other names: Oxybenzone, Homosalate
