Many Sunscreens Contain a Carcinogenic Compound
An organic sunscreen filter frequently used in sunscreens and anti-aging creams, octocrylene degrades within the bottles themselves into a known carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting compound: benzophenone. This is the result of a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers from the Laboratory of Biodiversity and Microbial Biotechnology of the Oceanological Observatory of Banyuls-sur-Mer (Sorbonne University/CNRS) in collaboration with their American colleagues, published in the journal Chemical Research in Toxicology on March 8, 2021.
