What if the Real Danger Was In Your Sunscreen?

At TropicSport, we’ve been aware from the beginning that the chemicals in many sunscreens are toxic to you and the environment. That’s why we started our company. The regulators are catching on to the facts. On Thursday, February 21, 2019, The FDA proposed new regulations to make sun care protection more “safe and effective”. Here’s what you need to know:

• A staggering 14 of 16 active sunscreen ingredients approved for use in the US are under scrutiny by the FDA acknowledging that chemicals used in sunscreen absorb into the skin.
  • 2 Not Safe: PABA and trolamine salicyate are not deemed safe by the FDA.
  • 12 Under Scrutiny: These have insufficient data to deem them as safe and effective. Among them are often used chemicals - oxybenzone, octocrylene, octinoxate, avobenzone and oxybenzone. You should avoid these chemicals.
  • 2 Safe and Effective: Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, used in Mineral Sunscreens.
• Already Banned: Oxybenzone and Octinoxate have been banned in a number of states due their proven negative impact on the environment. Learn more about chemical sunscreens’ Impact on the Reefs
