sunscreens are currently allowed to have up to 15% homosalate.
The European Commission proposes a concentration limit of 1.4 percent for homosalate.

The good news: even Coppertone is free of oxybenzone now! That’s thanks to consumer demand–way to go, you guys! ❌ Oxybenzone is the really bad ingredient it causes cellular damage and endocrine disruption. ⚠️Octisalate and octocrylene are also both Okay Stuff, without major health concerns, but slightly worse than avobenzone. If you choose to use a chemical sunscreen, choose one with avobenzone as the primary active ingredient. ⚠️ Avobenzone is Okay Stuff, and the best of chemical sunscreen options. I encourage you to choose sunscreens that use only mineral ingredients (more on these below), but you should know that not all chemical sunscreens are equally bad. Note: These days, almost all sunscreen is free of PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid), and so this once ubiquitous-and possibly carcinogenic-sunblock ingredient is no longer a concern. The nontoxic sunscreens we call Best Stuff in this guide are free of the Bad Stuff we talk about in our skincare Guides–synthetic fragrances, PEG chemicals, propylene glycol, alumina, etc. In addition to the active ingredients, sunscreen also contains a number of inactive ingredients, some of which are concerning. Still, add this potential risk to the risk of vitamin D deficiencies, and standard sun safety doesn’t feel so safe! Some researchers even suspect oxybenzone to be the hidden cause of the increase in melanoma, although most studies have found no such link. Is Sunscreen Toxic?Ĭonventional sunscreen is loaded with chemicals, including parabens, well-established carcinogens, and oxybenzone, an endocrine disruptor that may generate free radicals when exposed to ultraviolet light.
