Once again, over the weekend, the American Food and Drug Administration released a report, denouncing the safety of 12 different, commonly used sunscreen ingredients.

Key Points:

Once again, over the weekend, the American Food and Drug Administration released a report, denouncing the safety of 12 different, commonly used sunscreen ingredients.
VeganicSKN is a natural skincare manufacturer with a focus on the use of zinc oxide.
Using sunscreen with active ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is safe, as when "topically applied [these] particles do not enter systemic circulation to any meaningful extent".
Conversely, mineral ingredients Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are not absorbed by the skin and are therefore both safe and effective active ingredients in sunscreen.
