On the heals of the National Geographic Green Guide report on Swimmers' Sunscreen Killing of Coral, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) published the full Center for Disease Control press release regarding oxybenzone absorption concerns with full analysis from EWG.
The press release states, "The bodies of nearly all Americans are contaminated with a sunscreen chemical that has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). A companion study from the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine found that the same chemical is linked to low birth weight in baby girls whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy." The primarily chemical listed was oxybenzone.
The EWG analysis of the press release dives deeper into concerns about how oxybenzone damages and penetrates the skin, how oxybenzone may disrupt the human hormone system, the adverse effects on children and the environment of oxybenzone, and the long over due need for an FDA investigation into oxybenzone.
